After seeing all the mess here, I'll make a recomendation. Perhaps
it's time to write a whole new tool that combines syslogd and
newsyslog and some other functionality all in one place, and fixes
all of the issues that have been put forth here. Since it's a new
tool, it can start from a clean slate, and needs no compatability
features. Both can be included for a suitable transition period,
and eventually syslogd could die.
