Sounds like a great plan to me. I was going to propose something in that
direction when converting from printf to streams. Maybe we could do that
transition in one go.

log4cxx is a good place to look if you need any further inspiration on
how to do this. It does (almost?) everything you list and much more. I
doubt Ben would want to use it directly because it would introduce more
dependencies (it itself is dependent on boost).

Cheers,

Martin.
