[Box Backup] Parse Logfiles

[Torsten Boob]

Hi Chris,

that sounds really good. I get an compilation error:

Guards.h: In constructor 'FileHandleGuard<flags,
mode>::FileHandleGuard(const char*)': Guards.h:37: error: 'errno' was
mode>not declared in this scope
make[2]: *** [../../release/lib/common/IOStream.o] Fehler 1

make: ***

No time at the moment to search for the error, perhaps tomorrow.

Is it possible to build a patch with your changes for boxbackupp 0.10 ?
I would like to use that in production use.

Many thanks
  Torsten
