Well I'm a developer for SourceMage and one of the things that we
pride ourselves on is options.  So there's a couple of things we had
to change with udev to make it fit into our system of doing things.
1) no package to start or stop services in the process of installing
the package... hence the removal of the killall udevd && udevd
--daemon call
2) the `make -C extras/run_directory USE_LOG=3Dtrue` didn't work if the
root directory of udev was built with logging support.

I had to add the udev_logger.c to the root directory add that file to
the Makefile so it would end up in udev.a, then the command I used to
build with syslog support is `make -C extras/run_directory
LDFLAGS=3D"-lc" USE_LOG=3Dtrue`.

So the main reason for using this patch and adding the udev_logger.c
source file is so that the extras/run_directory can have syslog
support or not have syslog support.
