RE: logging enhancements, take 2

[Gary Williams <Gary.Williams@sas.com>]

Sorry about that.  Kurt and I have been conducting discussions
on openldap-devel so everyone would be informed.  Anyway, if what

feel bad letting someone else take over.  Post some notes on what
you've done and let Kurt evaluate.
