[RFC] Syslogd service patch

[Rink Springer]

Hi everyone,

I've devised a patch for syslogd, which allows you to specify a service
name when logging remotely.

This is all embedded in the current syntax. For logging remote under a
different service, you can use @1.2.3.4:service [1]; for binding to a
different service, you can use 'syslogd -b 1.2.3.4:service'. No breakage
is introduced as the default service remains 'syslog'.

The patch is at http://rink.nu/tmp/syslogd.diff, which I'd like to
commit. Does anyone have questions or comments?

[1] OpenBSD also has this functionality
