'a few simple parsers' is not necessarily 'simple'.

changing logging messages in code everywhere definitely isn't, though.

if there is going to be more than one analysis tool, converting log files 
to a common format somewhere in between generating application and 
analysing application might be a good idea, and not massively different 
from defining a language level API to abstract out log file format 
differences.
