Great! I actually started looking at that one last night for a couple 
minutes, but didnt get anything done at all.

I was hoping to find a solution in that didn't involve 
one-more-rescan. (eg - lets handle logs that don't have the new 
version header - assume old format if header missing.)

now. :) I also want to figure out an all-X build.
