i think salvager output is one of those things that we might want to
handle with special cases.  if the salvager is run from the fileserver
i would expect the output to go to the syslog (if the fileserver is=20
logging to syslog).  if i run the salvager manually via bos, and bos
is logging to syslog, i would expect to see the salvager output but
not get it logged.   similar to the way fsck behaves on a system.
only the automated runs are logged.  ordinary runs come to the command
line.

bos getlog should probably just be dropped.
