Nicely put Christian, your two lines summarize my own rather long  
ranting :-)

Marco's custom log patch is put up in the contrib directory http:// 
www.tildeslash.com/monit/dist/contrib/. Thanks Marco!

When we get time (will we ever?) we should rewrite output for the  
event handling machinery to match the same "design pattern" we have  
used for protocol verification (as you suggest). My email in this  
same thread with the title [dependency injection] also describe some  
thoughts around a design solution along those lines. I'll see if I  
can write up a more formal specification later.
