Here is my current TODO list for busybox:
1. Split up klogd and syslogd into 2 separate applets.
2. Add syslog_msg() to utility.c
3. Update klogd.c w/ new function call
4. Update logger.c to do the same as #3
5. Remove all the garbage from syslogd (there is a lot of code in there)
6. In syslogd fix up/cleanup the code and add suppression of duplicate
messages. (a TODO item added by me a long time ago)

P.S. What is the tentative schedule for the next release. I don't want
everybody to wait until I am done.
