One of the plugins was a syslog plugin.  As with other plugins, you can pick
and choose what you use.

Yes, the issue of chicken-egg comes up in that the plugin hook dispatch logs
what it's 'hooking.'  If we log calls to the logging plugin, we instantly
hit death-by-recursion.  There should be a better way around my little

Other than that, it was pretty straight forward.
