I liked the idea, and thus went ahead and implemented it in the
development branch. Syslog-ng generates a log message every once in a
while as specified in stats_freq. The format of the log message is:

<45>2005-10-22T23:38:14.567570+02:00 s_udp at bzorp syslog-ng[6871]: Log statistics; dropped='program(/bin/cat)=0', dropped='tcp(AF_INET(127.0.0.1:2001))=0'

The patch has been commited to my private branch and the snapshot to 
be generated in half an hour will contain it :)
