that said, the work is not completely finish. 

it does no less that was doing the previous printf() based logging system but
lxc still needs to think about the following : 

	* define proper categories for each file
	* add prefixes for each process
	* rework the current appender to have an output making everybody 
	  happy.
	* add command line options and/or configuration variables to 
	  define the log file and the log priority for each container or
          command
	* eventually add an extra stderr appender to output ERRORs only
	* use a syslog appender ? 

Cheers,

C.
