[syslog-ng] Syslog-ng 2.0/2.1 on Fedora Core 4

Note that the configure is using /usr/bin/pkg-config
and your eventlog.pc is in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

You need to set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH prior to running the .configure script
so that this path gets built into the make process.

I use

env PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --enable-spoof-source

to get the guild right.
