Thanks for taking the time, the LogFilter hierachy is a nice idea. One reason
to have the dedicated 'LogArea' class is from a configuration point of view.

A user does not want to reconfigure the LogTarget (and the filters applied on
it) but he wants to see the SCCP messages. So currently on the telnet
interface I do something like:

        logging SCCP enabled.

With the filtering I would have to add an allow filter, or remove from the
target which is certainly possible but a bit of a hassle. On the other hand by
having a nice chain of filters one can do a lot more.
