There is currently some very limiting debug code in place.  I'm in the process 
of making a full debugging implementation.  Should have the changes in CVS in 
the next 1 or 2 days.  

Basically to log you do:
 Debug("message");

That function the does two things:
 Check to see if debug mode is on by looking for a value of "1" for the Debug 
   directive in the NorthStar.conf file.
 Check to see if their is a filename in "DebugFile" in NorthStar.conf.  If 
   there if open it a write the deubg message, if not output the message to 
   STDERR (which usually logs to your webserver error_log)

I will send a message to the list when this functionality is in place.. there 
is a bunch of things about to hit CVS (modules, debug, etc., etc.,)
