You're quite right Bob. Xlog flexible format has been designed to
achieved just this. And using sort(1), cut(1), uniq(1), awk(1), etc.
should cover most needs.

If anyone doesn't see how, just ask for real cases, and we'll
contribute scripts to do it. Then these scripts may be included in 
the future xlog release.
