1) Following discussions, I've moved the syslog socket again, to
   /var/run/log, which is what BSDI now uses, and which is what FreeBSD
   now uses. As this appears to be controversial, I invite a
   discussion on tech-userlevel about this -- we can always change our 
   minds again. NOTE, NOT ON CURRENT-USERS!!! THIS ISN'T THE RIGHT PLACE!!!

2) I've updated /etc/rc to symlink the old /dev/log to
   /var/run/log. Such a symlink is present in FreeBSD and BSDI and is
   needed to keep old binaries happy. I also updated the makefile for
   syslogd to make this same symlink to help out people who aren't paying 
   close attention and do a make build.

3) I'm also updating the documentation.
