Matthew backported the non-value-pairs() version to 3.2 already. I'm not
sure whether it's worth adding value-pairs() to 3.2 - even if it's
reasonably easy and self-contained code, it's still seems too big for
3.2.

On the other hand, if it's deemed worthy enough, I'll happily backport
both value-pairs() and tfjson() to 3.2.

However, before all that, value-pairs() needs to be finished. I plan to
write a status report tonight.

This is available from the integration/systemd branches of my 3.2 and
3.3 trees:

git://git.madhouse-project.org/syslog-ng/syslog-ng-3.2.git and
git://git.madhouse-project.org/syslog-ng/syslog-ng-3.3.git

The integration branch was based on the current master of of each
version, and contains two commits: one that makes GSockAddr->sa_funcs
per-instance instead of per-family.

On top of this is Marius' systemd socket activation support (condensed
into a single commit, including my inherit_systemd_activation()
cleanup).
