 *  \brief Global logging facilities
 *
 *  The logging mechanism is used for everything,
 *  which would be done with fprintf(stderr, ...) in
 *  simpler applications. It is the only mechanism, which
 *  used global variables, i.e. the functions \ref bg_log_set_dest
 *  and \ref bg_log_set_verbose. They should be called just once during
 *  application startup. The function \ref bg_log can, of course, be
 *  called from multiple threads simultaneously.
