[Mono-dev] [PATCH] EventLog implementation

[Atsushi Eno]

As we talked on #mono yesterday, feel free to commit your changes
that include my local file based implementation (as you rather
wanted, than changing your code after my commit, dunno the reason
though). However it is not the case if you need much more time.
