+/* A very primitive testing tool that just emits a number of
+ * messages to the system log socket. Currently sufficient, but
+ * obviously room for improvement. 
+ *
+ * It is highly suggested NOT to "base" any derivative work
+ * on this tool ;)
+ *
+ * Options
+ *
+ * -s severity (0..7 accoding to syslog spec, r "rolling", default 6)
+ * -m number of messages to generate (default 500)
+ *
+ * Part of the testbench for rsyslog.
