Re: syslog -> NT event logger mapping
/speaking from ignorance
what about the insertion strings? Can't cygwin just have a single message
file with a single message, that is nothing but an insertion string?
If it needs to be registered for each, well that could be a simple
register_syslog exefile.exe
And yes I'd be willing to put some effort into making it happen.
