The addition to log_line_prefix is hardly 'half-baked' as a solution, to
that problem (I just pulled the hunks from the rest of the patch as they
were completely independent, and tested them). I've also gone and added
the csvlog_fields/csvlog_header patch to the 2011-Next commitfest. :P

I've also already started looking at changing syslogger to have it
figure out if it should be writing a header out or not. If we can
decide what semantics we should have when the log file exists and we're
not planning to rotate it on startup, it won't be hard for me to
implement them (well, I hope).

Thanks,

Stephen
