Thank you, thank you, thank you! This makes a few things so much
easier...

I have a couple of requests for the err(3) family:

 - possibility to specify a prefix string (e.g. pid)

 - possibility to provide a user-defined function that returns a
   pointer to a prefix string (e.g. date and time, thread)

If nobody objects, I'll put both those features in myself.
