[syslog-ng] tcp wrappers

[Declan White]

For what it's worth, we still use tcp wrappers here because the people who look after OS-dependant packet ACLs aren't the people who look after OS-agnostic application ACLs.

But saying that, if the application has no ACL capability we give it to xinetd, and it does the tcp wrappers instead, so as long as syslog-ng is xinetd-able there isn't a problem.
