+The EventLog library aims to be a replacement of the simple syslog() API
+provided on UNIX systems. The major difference between EventLog and syslog
+is that EventLog tries to add structure to messages.
+
+Where you had a simple non-structrured string in syslog() you have a
+combination of description and tag/value pairs.
+
+EventLog provides an interface to build, format and output an event record.
+The exact format and output method can be customized by the administrator
+via a configuration file.
