Hello list!

I first sent this mail to nginx@nginx.org, but realized that this list is
probably more suitable. Especially since I got no response whatsoever :)

I wanted to use my nginx logs to power click track analysis like
http://statviz.sourceforge.net/ for example, and therefore I used the
userid module.

I realized quickly that it either sets $uid_set or $uid_got, never
both, which makes it hard to get one single column in the logfile that
entails the userid.

So I devised the following patch for this purpose:

Since I have no real ambition to have my own fork of nginx, I would
love to hear about the possibilities to get this modification, or
another that solves my problem in a more nginxy way, into the main
branch.
