Agreed.

Agreed, too.

I personnally don't like the Idea of having my configuration files written
for me by a script that I have to invoke everytime I change something.
(And regenerating the configuration automatically whenever I (re)start a
service is not what I call very efficient...)

So, what about something like "include /etc/syslog-ng.d/*.conf" ?
