[JDEV] Loging component

[Daniel Miao]

I wrote an experimental message logging component that might help 
you.  It's written in Perl.  I posted up on jabberstudio under the "msglog" 
project.  It uses the <archive> functionality and logs to a text file 
(XML), mysql database, and can also sniff messages of other users in real 
time.  Take a look if you'd like.  Files are in CVS (only like 3 or 4 
files).  Maybe it'll help =)
