Too flexible. And only 1 of many such modules.

But you've given me a idea!

I'll provide my own logging class as a shim, i.e. a thin wrapper around
the end user's logger.

To configure it, I'll just pass in the name of the logger's config file.

And I'll need a default of course.

So the syntax in the original config file would be something like:
logger=My::Logger=/some/dir/logger.conf

Hey, I've just invented outsourcing!

Err, make that /re-/invented...
