In testing for both arches. Please signoff.

minor upstream update from 2.0.6 to 2.0.9
Upstream changelog:

2.0.9
         Sun, 23 Mar 2008 21:36:47 +0100

         Bugfixes:
         * Fixed handling more than 256 destinations by changing the
           reference counter type of LogMessages to a 16 bit value.
         * Fixed a possible SIGABRT crash if the hosts file passed to
           dns-cache-hosts() had multiple entries with the same IP address.
         * Fixed a possible crash during startup if "-g" was specified without
           using "-u".


2.0.8
         Thu, 31 Jan 2008 12:38:21 +0100

         Bugfixes:
         * Fixed a regression in 2.0.7 that caused destination files not to
           be reopened when syslog-ng was reopened. This causes potential
           problems with log rotation.
         * Fixed DNS cache size checking, persistent DNS cache entries were
           also counted against dns_cache_size() which might decrease cache
           space significantly when a large /etc/hosts file is in use.
         * Fixed a bug that caused the persistent DNS cache (e.g. /etc/hosts)
           to be reloaded for all name resolution requests.

         Other changes:
         * Fixed sample configuration file for RedHat.
         * Some portability changes in loggen.
         * Added cygwin packaging files to contrib/cygwin-packaging.


2.0.7
         Thu, 03 Jan 2008 07:01:59 +0100

         Bugfixes:
         * Fixed UNIX domain socket destinations on Solaris.
         * Fixed flow-control behaviour for follow-mode source files.
         * Added the "mark" keyword to be an alias of "mark_freq" for
           compatibility with syslog-ng 1.6.
         * Fixed message loss in destination files during configuration
           reloads if syslog-ng is heavily loaded.
         * Fixed a possible segmentation fault in the dns-cache-host() file
           parsing code for improperly formatted host files.
         * Fixed possible "Insufficient buffer space" errors in the STREAMS
           driver.
         * Fixed the starvation of the timer used to reap unused destination
           files, which could cause some files never to be closed under
           heavy load.
         * Fixed ISO timestamp parsing for timestamps that have no
           timezone information or have a too long fraction of a second
           portion.
         * Added a workaround for possible deadlocks on /proc/kmsg and
           user terminals.
         * Fixed program name parsing that caused problems for TAG values
           that include the '/' character. This problem was introduced by
           2.0.6.

         Other changes:
         * The fsync() option was implemented.
         * Added support for file sources that do not exist at startup.
         * Added support the "--persist-file" configuration option.
         * Added support for timestamps used by some LinkSys routers.
         * Added loggen tool to generate syslog messages at the specified
           rate.
