Hi!

Just wanted to mention SimpleLog on SqueakMap, I modelled it after 
syslog (levels etc) and it has an UDP syslog backend (very little code).

I use the approach of a Singleton instance (or you can go to an instance 
of SLLog directly if you like) and then the class (SLLog) has mirrored 
the protocol on the class side so that you can type:

        SLLog error: 'blabla'

(or warn:, notice: etc)

Then the SLLog instance has an OrderedCollection of "emitters" that it 
uses to actually do some output, thus you can easily log onto a file, 
Transcript and onto syslog at the same time if you like. It even has 
file rotation :)

Feel free to port it if you want, it should be small and straight 
forward, it is here (under new BSD):
