Dear colleagues (Poul-Henning and Gleb, you are at to: field because you did 
most commits to this file)

What do you think about the following and simplest patch, which allows sysadm 
to add custom syslog lines directly at the end of the file? 

For now, one (like myself ;-) could bump himself against the wall looking why 
his logs missed all the files until realised he was collecting ppp only...
