Running the command below in a windows 10 machine results in error:

meteor npm i filog --save

npm ERR! code EBADPLATFORM
npm ERR! notsup Unsupported platform for modern-syslog@1.1.4: wanted {"os":"!win32","arch":"any"} (current: {"os":"win32","arch":"ia32"})

This error says modern-syslog is not supported on Windows (or as its author says, Windows doesn't support syslog), and Filog depends on it.

This would probably need one of three approaches:

• either creating a Windows port of modern-syslog, but see https://github.com/strongloop/modern-syslog/issues/20
• or unbundling the syslog dependency from Filog, maybe by declaring it as a peerDependency ? But then you would lose the most useful Sender class in the package, which makes the package a lot less useful IMO.
• or (simpler) you don't run your application natively on Windows but within a VM or container to have a Linux/UNIX kernel which support syslog natively.

Which do you prefer ?

No answer in over one month. Assuming lack of interest.
