I caught myself (and not just me) to type `./firefox -MOZ_LOG=something` instead of .`/firefox -MOZ_LOG something` and being curious why it doesn't work.

I think it would be better to accept the params rather in the '=' form.  The code would be simpler as well.

I think self-explanatory.  Let's get this in soon, so that the `-MOZ_LOG modules` notation doesn't get spread.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

This is fine, but I'd prefer if it supported both (the other options don't seem to support the '=' variant, but in general it's pretty common to support both). Also I just noticed your patch mentions '--MOZ_LOG' but you've actually implemented '-MOZ_LOG' (one dash). '--' as a prefix would be more in line with the existing options, although IIRC they support both for historical reasons.

If you want to land this and file a follow up that's fine, otherwise maybe we can just rework it here.

so, this has changed a bit more:
- we accept:
  --MOZ_LOG=module_list
  -MOZ_LOG=module_list
  --MOZ_LOG module_list
  -MOZ_LOG module_list
  (similarly for -MOZ_LOG_FILE)
- code separated to its own file, using Tokenizer
- public API via a static func with a callback (similar to NSPRLogModuleParser)
- a gtest written

I still would like to refer to this publicly with only one '-' so that it's simpler mainly for Windows users to start logging from start of the session easily (whole purpose of this bug)

Thanks separating this out and adding a test, it makes it a lot easier to review :) I have a few nits, but otherwise looks good.

WDYT about just having the callback take a `const nsACString&`?

We can just use `strdup` now, right?

Can you add something like { "", "--MOZ_LOG", "modules", "-P", "foo", "--MOZ_LOG_FILE", "file" }
