I just tried, the tree still doesn't have any m4 directory...

Excepted the hack on PKG_CONFIG minimal version, autoreconf should work
as well.

Anyway, I just realized I didn't need to regenerate autotools toolchain,
as my patch doesn't impact any relevant file. Here it is, its goal is
just to ensure than syslog-ng doesn't create files directly under
$localstatedir directory, which is actually /var, but only under its own
specific directory, $localstatedir/lib/syslog-ng. It avoid the need to
override configure defaults through --localstatedir option, as does the
spec file shipped in the tree.
