You might want to have a look at mx.Log which is part of the
egenix-mx-base distribution. It is undocumented, but reading the
source should give some insights.

The basic idea is that you have logging objects which are
usually created as singletons; these can then log various 
information depending on a fine grained verbosity level to a 
log file, stdout or stderr.
