I'm porting a bunch of stuff from a 4.3bsd system to our Masscomp
(currently running RTU 4.1A), and syslog() seems to be missing from
libc, even though there's a syslog(3) man page.  Curiously, syslog.h
exists in both /usr/.attinclude and /usr/.ucbinclude ...  Also, that
file begins as follows:

   *  SYSLOG.H -- declarations for system logging program
   *
   *	These are used as the first parameter to logmsg().

Well, logmsg() isn't in libc either.  Is syslog() supposed to be there?
Or is it planned for a future release, and the documentation just got a
bit ahead of itself?  Or what?
