[syslog-ng] Relicensing syslog-ng man pages

[Balazs Scheidler]

Hi Robert,

I've finally got around to integrating this into the syslog-ng source
tree. The solution I choose is to include both the XML sources and the
generated versions into the distribution tarball, this way noone really
needs to install xsltproc and the man page XSLs.

Hopefully I won't break the build for distributions. I'll include an
heads up in the NEWS file so that they take notice of the potential
risk.

Here's the patch-id:

commit a299854e07b26ddf2e67eb3959b14638c7814691
Author: Balazs Scheidler <bazsi at balabit.hu>
Date:   Wed Feb 1 11:45:55 2012 +0100

    manual pages: replace generated manual pages with the XML source
    
    This patch changes the included manual pages to be covered under the
    GPL and also a means to regenerate them from their source format (XML).

Thanks Again.
