IMHO, this syslog.el is too specific to the single platform on which
it was coded. It should be more portable: not to expose highly
system-dependent constants, for example. All this unportable stuff
should be inside the primitive, because the primitive will have to be
implemented for every platform that has its own syslog facility and
API.
See proced.el for an example of another similar facility, and the
primitives it uses.
