Hi Jeff,

Yes - we'll do something similar to the way ALH is compiled (with or without CMLOG).

When we test, we'll test both ways.

OK with me. 

Of course, given that the log server's best feature is its simplicity, it wouldn't be great if the log server only built, or ran, if cmlog was installed, but I doubt that this is your intention. You will no-doubt make this a compile and or run time option?
