> It requires a .bat file to pass command arguments to a piped log on Windows.  If argc < 2  (i.e. piped to just the program name) it would be better to default to a config file in the standard Apache conf/ directory.  The -h switch can still be used for the usage display.
> in apache2\mlogc-src\mlogc.c  function main()
>     /* Conf file is last - defaults to conf directory */
>     if (argc < 2)
>         conffile = "../conf/mlogc.conf";
>     else
>         conffile = argv[argc - 1];
> This presumes that mlogc.exe ( or mlogc on Unix) is in the Apache bin/ directory and that the config file is in conf/mlogc.conf.
> This code should be removed:
>     if (argc < 2) {
>         usage();
>         logc_shutdown(1);
>     }
