	/**
	 * Simple logging facility.  All output goes straight to stdout, unlike the
	 * old multi-log system.  Generally we expect any program complex enough to
	 * want to use this will have other facilities for processing the logging
	 * output, but if we need it we can add other output methods.
	 *
	 * Currently implemented as a singleton to avoid clutter with globals, you
	 * generally never want to use the logging system directly, it's annoying.
	 * Instead use the handy macros lineLog, setLogMask, setLogFormat, and
	 * setLogLevel.  They do all the real work for you.
	 *
	 * In the log format, you can specify extra information that will be written
	 * to the log with every message, and extras in printf style.  Use %X flags
	 * where X is one of the following:
	 * - L - Logging level of the log message (not the current mask)
	 * - y - Full year
	 * - m - Month
	 * - d - Day of month
	 * - h - Hour (24-hour format)
	 * - M - Minutes
	 * - s - Seconds 
	 * - f - Source file
	 * - l - Line number
	 * - F - function name
	 * - t - Text of message (usually important)
	 *
	 * You can include anything extra that you would like, a newline will always
	 * be added automatically, so no need to worry about that.  You can also
	 * include any extra printf style formatting that you would like, for
	 * example: "%h:%02M:%02s" for the time 4:02:09 instead of 4:2:9.
	 *
	 * It's generally handy to create an enum of values you use as levels during
	 * program execution (such as error, warning, info, debug, etc).  These
	 * levels should be treated as bitflags, and the most desirable messages,
	 * i.e. serious errors and the like should be low order (0x01), and the much
	 * less desirable messages, like debugging info, should be higher order
	 * (0xF0).  During operation you can then set either an explicit mask,
	 * selecting just the levels that you would like to see printed, or set the
	 * mask using the setLevel helper function, which simulates verbosity
	 * levels, enabling every flag lower order than the highest order set bit
	 * passed.  I.E. if you had the following enumerated levels:
	 * 
	 *@code
	 enum {
	 	logError	= 0x01,
		logWarning	= 0x02,
		logInfo		= 0x04,
		logDebug	= 0x08
	 };
	 @endcode
	 * And you set the mask with setMask( logInfo ) the only messages you would
	 * see are the ones catagorized logInfo.  However, if you used 
	 * setLevel( logInfo ) then you would see logInfo, logWarning, and logError
	 * type messages, since they are lower order.
