[syslog-ng]Problems compiling 1.5.18

This problem was reported (with a workaround) by
Andrej.Borsenkow@mow.siemens.ru
on Thu May 30th.

The fix was to add the line 
	#include "stdio.h"
to cfg-grammer.c

I don't know if this is the right thing to do because there is conflicting
advice
Bazsi said it would be save to include it, but in the cfg-grammer.c file
there is 
a comment saying:

	#  include <stdio.h> /* INFRINGES ON USER NAME SPACE */

I just wanted to remind the (kind & generous) programmers of this issue for
those
of us who are not C programmers so that the "proper" fix for this doesn't
get forgotten
in the next version release.


On RedHat 7.3 with latest patches.
With libol 0.3.3
Compiling 1.5.17 works fine (see
http://www.umialumni.com/~ben/compile-output-syslog-ng.1.5.17.txt )
Compiling 1.5.18 doesn't (see
http://www.umialumni.com/~ben/compile-output-syslog-ng.1.5.18.txt )
