[syslog-ng] Win syslog-agent PRI

[Eli Stair]

I'm curious about this: though the source is not "open", is it still available 
for review/compilation, or is the windows agent distributed as a pre-compiled 
binary only?  I'm curious because while I'd prefer (in theory) to use the 
syslog-ng agent on windows machines to forward to my syslog-ng servers... one 
of the benefits of using the available ones (evtsys, snare) is the ability to 
at least diagnose, resolve, and post back fixes when necessary.

Obviously whatever your company decides is its right, but my policy is not to 
run free (unsupported) binary-only software because of the inability to at 
least post a sensible bug report.

Looking forward to checking it out either way however, since I'm also not 
against buying software ;)

Thanks for all the great work.
