+ * \brief Define macros and auxiliary functions for logging.
+ *
+ * This file defines the macros that NLSR uses for logging
+ * messages. An intrepid hacker could replace this system cleanly by
+ * providing a system that redefines all of the _LOG_* macros with an
+ * arbitrary system, as long as the underlying system accepts strings.
