This took a bit longer than anticipated but it is now commited to 
trunk. There are a still a few open issues but those can be resolved 
while the code receives more testing in trunk:

- there is no way yet to match the default format's behaviour of 
logging the source file info only for loglevel debug and higher
- the syntax of the arguments %t (current time) should be more in line 
with mod_log_config's %t syntax
- there is some documentation in mod/core.xml but logs.xml still needs 
updating
- I am not sure that putting the module name before the loglevel in 
the default format is the best solution: [mpm_prefork:notice]
- it should be possible to use the unique ID as error log ID if 
mod_unique_id is loaded

Cheers,
Stefan
