That's more or less what we have, except we also get daemon startup and 
shutdown messages here - which is a good thing IMO. (I see we also get copies 
of those in catalina.log - oh well). We can let the syslogging be 
configurable perhaps.

We have catalina.log, it's the upstream default.

So let's do that - cloning the bug report.
