(Concerning parsing logs: as the cnf is under user control you cannot assume that the log lines are the same always, as some users can set them different; i always did. So log file parsers should be flexible in this respect.)

Standard TeX is the most fun in that respect. It wraps after 79 bytes, never mind whether you are in the middle of a UTF-8 character or not. That's sort of ugly to process with a UTF-8-aware system. -- David Kastrup
