Yes, BeOS support Unix syslog (syslog.h). Copying the Unix eventlog.inc 
solve the compilation problem. But some BeOS specific part are needed. 
For example, 'libc' is named 'libroot' under BeOS.

Some tests are also needed to ensure it works but i am not really 
comfortable with syslogs :)

Is there a test suite somewhere to test this feature ? Maybe not as it 
is a recent feature ;-)
