+Rsyslog is an enhanced syslogd supporting, among others, MySQL,
+PostgreSQL, failover log destinations, syslog/tcp, fine grain output
+format control, high precision timestamps, queued operations and the
+ability to filter on any message part. It is quite compatible with
+stock sysklogd and can be used as a drop-in replacement. Its advanced
+features make it suitable for enterprise-class, encryption protected
+syslog relay chains while at the same time being very easy to setup
+for the novice user.
+
+Before you can run rsyslog, please see README.SLACKWARE
+
+You can enable a lot of optional (not-autodetected) features by
+passing variables to the script (VAR=yes/no ./rsyslog.SlackBuild):
+MYSQL=yes|no (default: no), requires mysql (part of stock Slackware)
+PGSQL=yes|no (default: no), requires postgresql
+RELP=yes|no (default: no), requires librelp
+LIBDBI=yes|no (default: no), requires libdbi
+GNUTLS=yes|no (default: no), requires gnutls
