This is what my previous patch did. I don't know how feasible it is in 
the context of loghook but the original patch may give you some idea. 
I'm away on holiday right now so I'll have a look when I get back if you 
don't get it working first.

Spencer: thanks for the suggestion; ideally I'd prefer it in contrib 
too. If impossible in the current state I suppose I'll see how to make 
it possible with minimal changes to the base code.
