Syslog in the Vax 4.2 distribution has been treated as an adjunct to
sendmail, thus it's in the sendmail source directories.  It even logs
to /usr/spool/mqueue/syslog by default.  At Sun we moved it to
/usr/src/etc and created /usr/spool/log, believing that a system logger
has other uses than just remembering which mail got dropped on the floor.
