Great! I got to check it out right now!
Note: I haven't looked at yet, but could the frequency field in the
QSO window be filled by the frequency from the rig? Or maybe when the
"Frequency" button is clicked?

However, I've been working too much on Hamlib lately, and haven't made
much progress for xlog. I hope I'll be able to code the flexible logfile
format over the beta1 this week-end, and send you a patch.

Also, there's a hamlib.m4 file in preparation, to be used by xlog for
example. This will make it easier to build xlog when hamlib is not
installed in a standard place.
