[Mono-dev] [PATCH] EventLog implementation

[Atsushi Eno]

Just curious, where is my local file implementation which just works?

If it isn't in your patch, I'll ignore it and commit my patch so
that I don't have to waste customers' time for something unimplemented.

Feel free to improve your implementation after that.
