The standard syslog daemon does not support this syntax. Currently the
only way to send messages to a non-standard port is to alter /etc/services
and change the port number for the service syslog.

Feel free to fetch the current sources and work on a patch. Even if
it shouldn't be accepted, it can be placed in the contrib area at
least and help other people.

Please use git to fetch the current source code:
