That sounds like a good/easy start.  It would be nice to eventually
be able to spec a file.

Hmmm.  Well -l chooses a config file, not a log file so I dont think
we would really be conflicting.

I would rather see -t used for test mode.  I think anyone that would
care about the current -t function would be a logcheck developer
anyway so it seems safe to change.
