We certainly could do that, but there's no need to. The syslog.conf is 
optional and the options we set at init continue to work as they have.

In fact, as far as I could tell from a quick search this morning, 
there's no way to tell syslogd log to a buffer, as we currently do by 
default, with syslog.conf.

Cheers,
Joshua
