49	log publisher should provide access to stored messages, not just new ones	Brian Warner		"The logport currently only offers subscribe(), which arranges for all subsequent log messages to be send to the subscriber. We need to offer a catchup= option, to get access to previously recorded messages that are still sitting in the circular buffers.

This would let the log gatherer see boot-time messages in Tahoe nodes, including the one that mentions version numbers.

It might be a good idea to have the log publisher emit a version-number log event immediately after the gatherer is subscribed, or provide a separate protocol method to deliver this information to the gatherer.
