Well, syslog-ng uses a library called "eventlog" and that has support
for replacing the libc() functions. I've planned to add support for the
new format, but I didn't get there yet.

eventlog is BSD licensed and is platform independent, although the
libc-replacement functions might not be completely portable, I don't
think anyone uses it that way.
