Re: logging stuff

I think we need a more general variable that can take several values,
separated by commas, like:

log_line: dbname,user

or something like that.

In fact, looking at the postgresql.conf file, I see only two setting
that print on every line: log_pid and log_timestamp. Perhaps those two
should be merged into log_line.

Of course, this is all for 7.5.
