Proposal: allow compilation on systems without UNIX sockets about rust-syslog

[Kromey]

I fully intend to try your patch @Robertof, but yesterday I needed the project out the door before requirements shifted under me again, and honestly didn't think to check the issues (or file one myself) until I'd already ditched syslog and returned to my local files. Unfortunately I need to shift gears and get another issue on an unrelated project taken care of, but I'll be back in a few days or so to try your fix.

@Robertof the patch looks fine, I imported it as 8e4c611. Sorry for the delay

This would be a very valuable feature in mixed environments like ours with both Linux and Windows hosts, and which have a central syslog server. I was hoping to ship logs directly from my Rust program, but compilation of course fails on Windows. For now it's back to local log files, sadly.

Hey @Kromey, as I said in the issue, I made a (proposed) patch to my branch to solve this. If you need the feature and you'd like to try it, just add the following to your Cargo.toml:

[patch.crates-io]
syslog = { git = "https://github.com/Robertof/rust-syslog" }
