Couple options:

- create another logging module, let the implementor decide which to use
(or use both if they have the disk space and can handle the extra i/o)
- break compatibility for server-side stuff while maintaining
compatibility on the client-side and in the protocol

I would argue in favor of the former that way people have a migration
path or can use the extra module for that "one script" they can't live
without (and Hobbit can advance in features.) Maintenance should
(hopefully) be minimal as you'd only have to deal with any IPC changes
and not log writing. Also, people not exposed to Big Brother don't have
to be hampered by the limitation of the logging it used.
