Matthew Flatt f2d870859a logging: allow name in `log-message', report it in a log-receiver evt
The synchronization result of a log receiver is now a vector of four
values, instead of three, where the last one reports the name.

Also, an optional argument to `make-logger' provides a notification
callback for each event sent to the logger.

These changes enable more control over loggers and events. Suppose
that you have processes A and B, and you want all log events of A
to be visible to B, but not vice-versa. Furthermore, you want the
log events to appear at B in the right order: if A logs an event
before B, then A's event should arrive at a log receiver's before
B's. Now that a log receiver gets the name associated with the
original event, and now that the name can be re-sent in a
`log-receiver', it's possible to give A and B separate loggers and
send all of the events from A's logger to B's logger. Furthermore,
you can use the notification callback so that when an event is logged
in B, you can make sure that all available events from from A's
logger have been transferred to B's logger.

The Racket programming language
===============================

Important executables:

* DrRacket: Racket's integrated development environment (start here!).

* Racket: the main command-line entry point for running racket programs
  and scripts.

* GRacket: the GUI-mode Racket executable.

* raco: Racket's command-line toolset.


More Information
----------------

Racket comes with extensive documentation: use DrRacket's `Help' menu,
or run `raco docs'.  Also, visit us at http://racket-lang.org/ for more
Racket resources.

Instructions for building Racket from source are in src/README.
