I chose the simpler format for now, I can always add the {} block if the
need arises, but I think that assigning options to a simple include
operation should not be necessary.

The 'optional' feature could be made global, e.g. if the
ignore-not-existing-include-files() option is set to yes, then syslog-ng
would start up just fine if an include file does not exist.

I've pushed the implementation now, but I'm writing about it in a
separate email.
