How about a bitfield instead of the two booleans, in case we need to express
more options in the future?

Done.

+// Convenience function for configuring syslog via openlog.  Users
+// could call openlog directly except for naming collisions between
+// base/logging.h and syslog.h.  Similarly users cannot pass the
+// normal parameters so we pick a representative set.  |log_pid|
+// causes pid to be logged with |ident|.
+void OpenLog(const char* ident, bool log_pid);
+// Start accumulating the logs to a string.  This is inefficient, so
+// do not set to true if large numbers of log messages are coming.
+// Accumulated logs are only ever cleared when the clear function ings
+// called.
+void LogToString(bool enabled);
+// Get the accumulated logs as a string.
+std::string GetLog();
+// Clear the accumulated logs.
+void ClearLog();
+// Returns true if the accumulated log contains the given string.  Useful
+// for testing.
