[Xlog-discussion] Developers: AF_INET socket patch

[Mike]

Description:
        Clients from any OS could send their log data to xlog. This is a patch 
to 
xlog that allows socket based connections from other computers to send their 
log data to xlog over the local network.  You would only have to run one 
version of xlog.   This works in a similar fashion to the message queues 
currently in xlog. 

Install instructions:
I made a diff file so you can patch xlog-1.2.2 easier.  To patch xlog-1.2.2... 
Save a copy of the original just in case. 
cd xlog-1.2.2/src
patch < patch.txt
  If it says this
Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected!  Assume -R? [n] 
 Press y and keep going.

Sample client:
client2.c is a simple client that demonstrates the new functionality.  You 
have to edit the IP address to point to your xlog host's IP.  Then just run: 
make client2

Caveats:
It is up to Joop to decide if he wants to use this code or not in future 
releases of xlog. 
People will have to write real clients to send the data over the network.

Tell me what you think.  I am sure it's not perfect.  But it works.
