[Koha-devel] RFC: Koha needs a logger!

I choose Log::Lite because of it seems easier and lighter than Log4perl. It
does all what I want to implement.

The big question I have is: Would being able to output debug messages

Currently, the Koha logs are very verbose. If we replace all occurrences of
'warn' to use this module and display them to the web browser, the users
will be unhappy. I think it is preferable to manage and encapsule potential
errors and display an adapted message for each them. Yes I know it is a big
work :-/
But simply it could be possible to display only error message. For
developpers I think it is not very useful to display debug messages (just
my opinion).

Could you test and sign-off my patch if you agree with the
Koha::Utils::Logger module and/or propose changes ?
