Description

I have a feeling that the hardcoded (built-in) log-formats was the old way of doing things, and logs_xml.config is the new way. As such, I'd like to propose that we eliminate all the built-in's, and provide all those formats in a default logs_xml.config.

One thing that might be necessary to add is an option in the XML config to disable a log file. I don't know if that's easily doable without using XML comments, but would be easy to add and useful.
