you need to SIGHUP the process right now. I'd be reluctant to
continously stat a destination file to see if the inode changed, that'd
be an overhead in syslog-ng performance.

Also, I'm thinking about adding a way to reopen destination files
without having to re-read the configuration (which is way more complex
than merely reopening destination files)
