Purpose of use_syslog

[Steven D. Morrey]

Ahhah! I see the error of my ways.
I just needed to look a bit higher up, basically the write_to_syslog is being called from both logging functions, and the use_syslog option is checked only in the write_to_syslog function as a sort of bail out point.
That makes sense, but I wanted the option to mean something a little different, so now I've modified the write_to_all_logs and write_to_all_logs_with_timestamp to check for use_syslog and only write out the regular log file if use_syslog is false.
This way I don't double my logging overhead.  Now use_syslog means use_syslog only :)

Sincerely,
Steve

Odd, when I read it, it looked like use_syslog only used the syslog facility, but it is a bit confusing isn't it.
I'm going to take a closer look.

Sincerely,
Steve

Documentation doesn't make it entirely clear, but a quick peek into
base/logging.c hints that use_syslog means it will log to both when
set to 1, at least that's how I'm reading the code.
