the configure script is for detecting compile time variables. The path to
the default local log socket above is configuration data for syslog-ng, as
it doesn't care about what OS you are running on, you could specify
/var/run/log on Linux too (and symlink /dev/log to /var/run/log).

Too bad different platforms behave differently but that's what the contrib
directory is for: include platform specific config files (btw: this BSD
thing is clearly written in the INSTALL file)
