[log5-devel] Dynamically set log level

Hi Stefan,

> 		     :category-spec log-level
> 		     :output-spec (log5:category human-time log5:message  
> log5:context)))

Other than moving the defoutput from inside the defun to outside it  
(for efficiency reasons), I think that what you have there is exactly  
right.

Both the start-sender macro and configure-from-file call the start- 
sender-fn so your definition ought to work. What happens when you try  
it?

My pleasure.
