Remove --enable-syslog?

Originally, I added --enable-syslog because it used to be an option in
config.h only. However, I wonder why we don't always compile it in, it's
off by default anyway. The only reason I could think of is a portability
problem. Is there any platform that does not supply the standard syslog
interface?

If we have configure to test for its existance, I can't see why we
wouldn't want it enabled in the binary.

Why worry? Do AC_CHECK_FUNC(syslog), or some such.
