    This is a great idea.  Please send me contributions, and I'll
    try to get it together over the next couple of weeks.
    
    I am tgeaching the Log Analysis class at USENIX tomorrow,
    and Wednesday/Thursday I'll try to send the summary e-mails
    about Windows syslog tools and summaries of third party apps.
    
    cheers -- tbird
