Since installing 8.2 beta 2 (I never installed beta 1), I have been
annoyed at having to rewrite my /etc/syslog.conf file daily, so I hacked
this patch together.
It enables a standard rule to be defined for the tty12 syslog.
I have tested it only against msec-0.18-3mdk, but I can't find anything
in the changelogs to indicate that it will break in later versions...
P.S., this is the first patch I've submitted anywhere... don't be too
hard on me if it sucks ass...
