read-syslog, new syslog configuration reading interface done for msyslog

[Arthur Korn <arthur@korn.ch>]

Hi

You can get read-syslog from:
http://people.debian.org/~arthur/read-syslog

This should work pretty well now, but only for msyslog and
limited sysklogd, though sysklogd support could be added
trivially. My idea is that in the future every system-log-daemon
provides his own read-syslog, but the interfaces are the same.

First I planned to write a syslogd-listfiles that is based on
this, but syslogd-listfiles is so profoundly broken and
inpredicteable that I'll keep the old one which reads the config
file directly.

Next I'll write something to replace syslog-facility, which
ceased to work properly since we have other syslogds than
sysklogd in Debian.

ciao, 2ri
