Behaviours: gen_event.
Authors: Fredrik Thulin (ft@it.su.se).
Event handler to log events to syslog using a C port driver (syslog_port).
The reason to not do this simply by sending syslog UDP datagrams is that it would require a syslog server, or a local syslog daemon listening on a network socket. Sending to a remote syslog server would also mean that the messages wouldn't end up in the local syslog files, regardless of local syslog configuration. This is not good - we should follow the path of least surprise.
The reason for not simply writing to /dev/syslog is that Erlang refuses to open character devices.state() = #state{}
