I hadn't noticed when I looked at the patch that it completely removed the ability to log to syslog(). That's one more reason to reject it for 3.1.x. I rejected it over concerns about portability, as you pointed out. I don't think it's appropriate for inclusion in 3.1.7 either for that reason. -- Gilles R.
