== Mixlib::Log

Mixlib::Log provides a mixin for enabling a class based logger object, a-la Merb, Chef, and Nanite.  To use it:

	require 'mixlib/log'
	
	class Log
		extend Mixlib::Log
	end
	
You can then do:

	Log.debug("foo")
	Log.info("bar")
	Log.warn("baz")
	Log.error("baz")
	Log.fatal("wewt")
	
By default, Mixlib::Logger logs to STDOUT.  To alter this, you should call Log.init, passing any arguments to the standard Ruby Logger.  For example:

	Log.init("/tmp/logfile")    # log to /tmp/logfile
	Log.init("/tmp/logfile", 7) # log to /tmp/logfile, rotate every day
	
Enjoy!
