[syslog-ng] CSV parser and empty fields

[Matthew Hall]

I'm surprised it doesn't handle doubled delimiters right.

However I am likewise stumped. I can't find any explanation anywhere in 
the Balabit docs which explain what escape-* options do specifically.

I guess reading the code is the only option for now. :/
