This is a fine usage of subsystem.  The idea is to identify which
component logged the message.  __name__ does that pretty well.  In the
past, we've just used a simple string, like 'zdeamon'.

Does anyone object to making __name__ the convention?  I like it.  It
lets you find the object in the code and tell you where to set
breakpoints in the debugger pretty clearly without having to hunt.  But
perhaps there is something more interesting in some cases, like the
physical location of an object in the database if it is persistent.  I
kinda like:

subsys = string.join(self.getPhysicalPath(), '/') + ":" + `self`

This is probably 2.2 specific.
