The 'ping' mail

Doh, didn't mean to send that previous message to the whole list... :)

Anyway, (so I don't do two worthless things in a row) there was a
'improved_log.tgz' uploaded to the ftp site. Patchlevel 13 will have a
variable argument log() function already. Whether we want a variable
argument mudlog() function is still under consideration.  (VOTE!) :)

The README file mentions:
"upon looking at bp12's utils.h it appears Elson's done some wierd stuff
with log point to another function that doesn't seem to exist... of course
I'm not looking all that hard for it...)"

The #define changes all definitions of log() to basic_mud_log(), including
the prototype and the function declaration.  Therefore, the function does
exist and you do not have to change all the calls in the rest of the MUD.
