Hi,

I've just added a frysk.rsl (really simple logger?) package as a 
possible alternative to the java logging framework we're currently 
using.  The "advantages" as I'll spin them are:

-> the logging call is unlocked (at least in the logger level)
so the ongoing saga of older log implementations deadlocking is avoided

-> nested logging works

-> it supports a completer interface
so that << (fhpd) frysk log frysk.proc.<TAB> >> can give a known list of 
loggers

-> [I think] the call interface is simpler and lighter
for instance << log.fine(this, "adding foo") >> or << log.fine(this, 
"adding foo=", foo); >> (we can add more methods as we need them :-)

thoughts?

Andrew
