[syslog-ng] syslog-ng 1.3.13

[Chris Scheller]

I asked this back in january but the list seemed dead then, so i will ask
again. When i updated to 1.3.13 i tried $FACILITY and $LEVEL in my
destination lines. Although i get some interesting file names. here is a
snippet of my conf file 

source src       { internal(); unix-stream("/dev/log"); udp(); };
destination test { file("/var/log/syslog-ng/test/$HOST.$LEVEL.log"); };
log              { source("src"); destination("test"); };

here is an example file name

homer.0x00000005.log

 
also where making macro's create directories still on the wish list?
