I would recommend the Apache log4cxx library
(http://logging.apache.org/log4cxx/index.html). It's more immediately
usable than anything I have seen submitted for Boost to date, with
appenders for the Windows EventLog, Unix syslog, email, database, file,
socket, and others.

Which brings up a question for the boost community: what is the stance
on re-inventing functionality that exists in other external projects,
working with other groups like the ASF to combine efforts, or
unofficially adopting third party libs into the fold?
