Rainer, is there an example of a simple module being converted to the new config

I'm thinking that it would be useful to start collecting examples of commits
that do fairly simple things as documentation for programmers trying to
create/improve modules
a few of simple ones to start off with:
1. add a config parameter (I think I can dig this up from the imfile changes
where we implemented the multi-line mode)
2. change a new style parameter
I'm looking at omruleset and it looks like it may not support the new config
format yet, but I'm not sure. If it does, I'd like to understand how it does, if
not, it looks like it would be a tiny change and a good example case
3. how to manipulate the raw message buffer in parsing modules (I have this
archived in e-mail, I'll dig it up)
I'd just like to say that this would be much appreciated. I have a lot
of old configurations from v5 that I'd really like to convert to the new
syntax, but I don't really understand entirely how to go about doing so,
so it's been rather hit or miss so far. A "cookbook" of simple
configurations and maybe a few more complex examples would be great to
see.
I was talking more about how to do this in the module code than configuration
conversions.
Have you taken a look at the documentation pages?
http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/<modulename>.html
They tend to have a section on the new parameters and then below that on the old
ones.
If you have some examples of the sorts of things you are trying to convert, I
can try to point out the proper conversion.
