[syslog-ng] about unix-dgram

[Evan Rempel]

We do this by using the "pipe" destination for syslog-ng and then use a second
copy of syslog-ng to read from the pipe with a destination of program.
This requires the program to be able to read data from the standard in.

For the curious, we do this to seperate the filtering and formating of data
to the program from the base system syslog service (handling messages from /var/log etc)
so that we can stop/start the program without having to start/stop the system syslog
service.
