Yes; but the tagging language seemed to be somewhat limited compared to
regexps. Hmm, wonder if it's possible to write regexp->tag definition
converter.. :)

Meta-language link didn't work and EBNF is bit too low-level for my liking
- rewriting 150+ and growing rapidly definitions of "interesting" log lines
in EBNF is not my idea of fun :P. Of course, I could just do some really
ugly m4 hacking to do that, but I'd prefer to avoid that.
