Thanks to Peter Slavov for providing the code. - external message modification modules are now supported
They are bound via the new native module “mmexternal”. Also, a sample skeleton for an external python message modification module has been added. - new $jsonmesg property with JSON representation of whole message object
closes: https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/issues/19 - improved error message for invalid field extraction in string template

- NOTE: a json-c API that we begun to use requires the compiler to be in c99 mode. By default, we select it automatically. If you modify this and use gcc, be sure to include “-std=c99” in your compiler flags. This seems to be necessary only for older versions of gcc.
