Any syslog daemon is non-descriminatory.  If syslog packets arrive, 
regardless
of what generated them (syslog, msyslog, syslog-ng, routers, switches, 
etc),
syslog-ng will process them.

It's not mentioned anywhere because it's a non-issue.  If you couldn't 
get it going
then it was probably an error in your config.
