No, the client doesn't do anything with it in this patch, though that's 
not a bad idea.  I just did the server since it is more likely to leave 
persistent logs laying around.

As a side note, the api hooks would allow the timestamp format to be 
changed on the fly as well, if someone wanted to write a command line 
tool to do it (ala pvfs2-set-debugmask).
