I think "strlog()" is probably closer to what's desired
here. Of course, strlog() has some bizzare cruft - a severity/tracing
level *and* fatal/warn/notice flags, and random flags like "SL_NOTIFY
- Mail copy of message to system administrator." "SL_CONSOLE - Log
message to console". But the spirit is there.
