[syslog-ng] log drop-and-delete directory

Looking to create a drop-off directory that syslog-ng handles instead of
needing to execute in a separate script.. flow would go something like this:

1) mv file.log /syslog-tmp/
2) syslog-ng reads /syslog-tmp/file.log
3) syslog-ng deletes /syslog-tmp/file.log when done consuming

Sounds simple but I can't seem to figure out a good way to do this.  The
other option is to read file with a script, send out with logger (or
whatever), and hope that syslog-ng is running & healthy.

Thanks.
