• removed dependency on MAXHOSTNAMELEN as much as it made sense. GNU/Hurd does not define it (because it has no limit), and we have taken care for cases where it is undefined now. However, some very few places remain where IMHO it currently is not worth fixing the code. If it is not defined, we have used a generous value of 1K, which is above IETF RFC's on hostname length at all. The memory consumption is no issue, as there are only a handful of this buffers allocated *per run* -- that's also the main reason why we consider it not worth to be fixed any further.
• enhanced legacy syslog parser to handle slightly malformed messages (with a space in front of the timestamp) - at least HP procurve is known to do that and I won't outrule that others also do it. The change looks quite unintrusive and so we added it to the parser.
• implemented klogd functionality for BSD
• implemented high precision timestamps for the kernel log. Thanks to Michael Biebl for pointing out that the kernel log did not have them.
• provided ability to discard non-kernel messages if they are present in the kernel log (seems to happen on BSD)
• implemented $KLogInternalMsgFacility config directive
• implemented $KLogPermitNonKernelFacility config directive

Plus a number of bugfixes that were applied to v3-stable and beta branches (not mentioned here in detail).
