When I run the logging example, I get the runtime error
"Error: circular initialization dependency with module Event".

I figured out, that this error comes, Event includes Layout/Manager and vice versa. Both have static this(). So it is not clear, which has to run first.
To fix this, I post the diff:

While working with the svn repository, i noticed, that the format/* files are not added there.

Thanks, Frank. Very much appreciate the patches! I'll apply those for the next release.

The circular init problem has been a pain for a while ~ some people run into the problem and others don't (I don't, for example). There's an outstanding bug-report on this, since the issue is dependend upon the order the modules are fed to the compiler

The format/ directory was replaced with the convert/ directory in one of the recent releases ~ there's been some consolidation and cleanup going on in Mango. Ack! I just realised the logging example was not updated ... will fix that right now.
