I researched this topic in early 2001 and several bureaucratic steps had to
be followed to register properly with the event log facilities. Therefore, I
abandoned the issue and I don't remember the details. Alas, I'm not sure I
understood all the needed steps.

If you find someone that's willing to contribute the needed code...
