Modding the turn log?

Is there any way to mod or customize the turn log? I hate scrolling through new construction and other useless messages.

What i'd like:
A way to toggle only the notification of construction of certain ships in the log (ie only colony ships, transports, etc)
A way to collapse/minimize certain messages (hello massive ground assaults)
A way to scroll through the items quicker (mousewheel BARELY moves the list down, clicking is a nuisance)
A way to shrink every message by about 50%. Smaller icons, smaller text... enough to fit the entire message on one or two lines (sans battle reports, etc, which could be collapsable--click on them for the whole report).
Organized messages. I hate the order the AI presents new events on my log. I don't care about my population being happy (EVERY TURN!) because my ground troops are on a planet. When I have about 10 of these messages every turn, it is really old. I rather see new techs/political messages, etc, on top.
