How about

if (TYPO3_T3LIB_DLOG) t3lib_div::devLog(...)

and

if (TYPO3_TSLIB_DLOG) t3lib_div::devLog(...)

That would configure logging for STATIC methods in t3lib and tslib 
respectively.

But IMHO critical failures should be logged anyway. Perhaps we need not 
only a developer log but also a system failure log for admins 
(/var/log/critcal).
