bouyer 26b29b938f Initial import of eventlog 0.2.12, required by the upcoming syslog-ng
update (OK agc@)
The EventLog library aims to be a replacement of the simple syslog() API
provided on UNIX systems. The major difference between EventLog and syslog
is that EventLog tries to add structure to messages.

Where you had a simple non-structrured string in syslog() you have a
combination of description and tag/value pairs.

EventLog provides an interface to build, format and output an event record.
The exact format and output method can be customized by the administrator
via a configuration file.
