Work on the CVS version. The stable version may differ greatly from  
the one in CVS. As a project standard, code in CVS should compile  
cleanly so you should be able to work on that code without having any  
build problems. Also do a cvs update regularly.

Add the statement, [set logformat ".."] to the parser, p.y and  
rewrite the logger, log.c to use a output format. Do not copy code  
from the apache project since we use different and incompatible  
licenses. But do try to use the same format specifiers where  
applicable. We'll be happy to review any patch, and depending on  
available time help out with the coding.
