Re: logging stuff

If we're looking at this, we might want to look at how apache does it with
it's customlog feature. This allows you to first define custom log types,
then set them according to which virtual server you're setting up.

I could see that being nice so you could create a couple of different
custom log types, then use one for one database, and another for a
different database.

For people running large numbers of databases on a single cluster, it
might be quite useful to be able to log each database differently.
