As Peter suggested, the way we usually fix that is by replacing the
direct invocation of <foo>-config in configure.ac by
${FOO_CONFIG:foo-config}, so that it can be overridden in the
environment.

However, the current --with-<foo> solution that you have used is fine
for me. We do use this solution for numerous packages, so I'm fine with
using it as well for syslog-ng.

Best regards,

Thomas
