Summary: add minirsyslogd

Initial Comment:
http://www.clueby4.org/minirsyslogd/

What is minirsyslogd?
In short: minirsyslogd is a minimalistic, fast and secure 
(through lack of bloat) remote-only syslog receiver 
suitable for hardened log receiver hosts and/or central 
log receivers that receive several gigabyte of logs each 
day. 

It will not deal with local syslog data. It does not have a 
multitude of configuration, alerting or scripting options. 
It will however automatically split inbound syslog data 
according to IP address, date and current hour, and do 
so as rapidly and (I hope) securely as possible. 

Why?
Well, plain old syslogd just doesn't cut it for hundreds of 
log generators that send log data with varying facilities 
and severities. 

And syslog-ng, while fulfilling all of the functional 
requirements, is too bloated for my comfort (no 
disrespect; I'm just paranoid), and consumes about 10-
20 times as much CPU as minirsyslogd. It simply croaked 
on me when log collection reached about 2 gigabytes 
per day on my loghost. Said loghost now receives 10 
gigabytes per day with minirsyslogd and has plenty of 
spare CPU cycles
