A good use for JSON output.

Why is that (given we have utility functions for that)?

Also, we really should have a test.  

Sadly this will reopen the can of worms around which configure options
would require json, in this case the combination of --enable-seftest
but not --without-ads would start to need json.  

See lib/audit_logging/wscript and the attached patch.

However you need to adapt the configure options to explain this is no
longer just for audit.

Attached is my first attempt, please build on that.

Subject: [PATCH] build: Reject --without-json-audit --enable-selftest unless
 --without-ads is specified

This allows tests to be written for the new "net ads -j" output
