Re: choosing a syslog facility other than 'daemon'

[Matt Ghali <matt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Funny you should reply now- I spent the morning hacking on autoconf 
and friends, so configure can be used to select a log facility; and 
also, a useful method to point configure at libevent not located in 
/usr/local/lib.

I suspect that a "nicer" way to support other log facilities would 
be to add support in config.c; which I may do instead, given the 
time. Of course, given the lack of interest, I suspect that 
compile-time would be good enough.

I will make sure to send diffs if/when I get them working.
