Hello,

this patch add support for scrolling boot log messages in plugins details and 
text. It also update code for upstart bridge. Log message must start with 
prefix 'log:', status reason message must be 'log:ok' or 'log:failed'
Scrolling boot log messages looks like in old usplash.

This patch is from ubuntu merge request:
https://code.launchpad.net/~pali/ubuntu/natty/plymouth/plymouth/+merge/61897

Examples:
 $ plymouth message --text='log:Starting daemon xyz'
 # Show message 'Starting daemon xyz...'

 $ plymouth message --text='log:ok'
 # Append status reason message 'ok'

 $ plymouth message --text='log:Starting daemon abc'
 # Show next message 'Starting daemon abc...'

 $ plymouth message --text='log:failed'
 # Append status reason message 'failed'
