I'm not sure if it's really necessary to have a separate EventLogFactory abstraction, we could use a similar approach to the one used for the Registry API; meaning, define an interface and implementations of that interface and have EventLog pick the implementation for doing all the work (except for basic argument checks and stuff). Ofcourse, feel free to ignore my remarks as I'm glad we now have at least an implementation thanks to you ;-) We might also use the Registry API for registering/deleting/querying event sources (on both linux and windows) to match the Win32 event log, which AFAIK uses HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog to store that info. That way we would only need to implement reading/writing event log entries itself in a platform specific way, and we could use your implementation for linux (and perhaps for the time being also for windows).
