[bf1942] BF2 Event Logging

[Forrest Thiessen]

I like that idea--all my stuff is uses MySQL, and, absolutely right, it
would be way cool to see the stats in real time.  On the other hand, a
Python thingy that generated XML log files would have the benefit of
working more or less as-is with all the existing stats systems.

Hmmm. . . cool or compatible. . . I think I like your idea, better!
