Going for Logwatch 8.0

I think I've got most of the code worked out for the new output/format 
switches I'll have to run some tests on it tonight or tomorrow before I 
commit it to CVS but it should be pretty clean. I got rid of some 
variables and added more comments. The interface now looks like

New:

--output stdout [default], mail, file
--format text [default], html
--encode none [default], base64
--save [flips output file]
--mailto [flips output mail]


We gained --output file in the process because it was easier and made 
sense for the switch that checks for OUTPUT filehandle. Of course --save 
<Filename> is a shortcut and flips --output file for you.

I do have one nagging piece of code which is the "sprintf" calls in 
output, which I know I moved from some older code long ago when I 
unified the output sub. Anyone actually using this "formatted" output. 
As it stands it is impossible in my current version to get to these, to 
"re-enable" them I'd have to add another --format type but I wondering 
if it is worth it. I think these came from the PLD folks.

Also I anyone can gimme some feedback on the problems with Multimail, 
splithosts, hostnames I'd like to clean that up while I'm at it.
