The syslog C API calls are indeed available in FOS (6.0 or greater) in
/SYSLOG/PUB/libsyslog.a.

But I don't know what I was thinking when I created /SYSLOG/PUB/syslog.h
*without* the extern definitions for the syslog functions.  Still, a C compiler
will use compatible implicit definitions, though you may see some warnings.
