[syslog-ng] Crosscompile Syslog-ng

[Kenneth Kassing]

I am crosscompileing syslog-ng to to a powerpc, and had to make a few 
changes to make it compile properly.  If anyone is interested I have 
included these two patch files here.

First I updated configure.in to allow you to specify a path to libfl.a 
(it should also work with libl.a, but I have not tested this).  The 
configure tests already included does not find the lex libraries for me 
(I do not have them installed.  Instead I am just building flex as 
compile time dependency.)

Second, the configure script was explicitly running configure and make 
from the script.  I did not like configure calling make, and it was not 
using any of my configure arguements for libol.  As a result libol was 
built for my build machine instead of the target device.

The syslog-ng configure script will now now call configure for libol 
(with all the supplied options), and will not run make.  When make is 
run from the syslog-ng directory it will also run make for libol.
