SyslogAppender and SyslogWriter patch

Description Stephan 2010-04-23 11:43:41 UTC 
With release 1.2.15 the maximum package size was restricted to 1024 bytes (see https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42087). This was done because RFC 3164 defines this limit. On the other side some syslog implementations allow a custom message limit, e.g. syslog-ng uses the parameter 'log_msg_size()' (http://www.campin.net/syslog-ng/faq.html).

It would be nice if the maximum package size is configurable.
