postmaster_at_diffenbach.org: welcome to the internet :D as for not
testing/compiling it, i said that this was more for feedback than to
actually be incorporated yet.
RaeNye: thanx, ill fix those typos.
as for it not working, im not sure how often the log is currently
written to, so its quite likely its working but not loggin anything.
im gonna make a test plugin to test it properly, probably today but
we'll see.
