These patches adds two features to syslogd. First patch adds the ability to filter log messages by start of string, typically the daemon name. The second patch adds the ability to include other configuration files using the 'include' keyword. For example to parse the *.conf files in the folder /etc/syslog.d/ add 'include /etc/syslog.d/' to your main syslog.conf file.
