Well, on a close inspection of `man syslog.conf' I realized that the
only reference to this kind of behavior is:
o A pathname (beginning with a leading slash). Selected messages
are appended to the file.
which does not clearly specify if the file is created on demand or not.
Probably a candidate for a PR here. I really ought to read about
send-pr in the handbook and elsewhere.
