Specify logfile output for log-courier

[shoenig]

Right now it seems log-courier can only send its own log output to stdout. It would be nice if you could specify a file to send its log output to instead.

What's your thoughts on syslog?

I suppose I'm on the fence with the debate,but you can log to syslog and it goes to messages usually. Then you can configure syslog to send to a different file if necessary.

At the moment it's stdout always and syslog optional. It will soon be one or the other though, and I could add file output fairly easily now it's using go-logging package. :-)

Unfortunately I don't think syslog is an option in our environment (thought it would be nice!). If you don't want to add support for file based logging I'll probably do it on my own branch anyway

[driskell]

It's an option I don't mind having. It's probably total of 10-15 extra lines which is fine.

I've penned it in since I've been fixing syslog and adding option to disable stdout logging anyway and it can sit amongst those settings.

Likely means moving from cmdline to config file to keep config bits from getting disparate.
