I was considering committing all these patches one by one, but as
discussed with brooks@, there is no need to do this. If we ever
need/want to merge these changes back, it is still possible to do this
per application.
Quoth the man-page:
Fifologs provide a compact round-robin circular storage for recording
text and binary information to permanent storage in a bounded and pre-
dictable fashion, time and space wise.
Not yet connected to the build, but feel free to test & review.
