Log time formats

All logs should use a consistent time format, and one that is easly imported into other tools that recognizes date/time fields (MS Excel/Access in my case).  It's a really pain when reviewing message logs to convert the  "Tuesday, ...." format.  And system logs with m/d/y and unix epoc time, etc should all be normalized to one format. 

The format should be selectable to match local date time formats.
