Hi Andrey,
I totally agree that lack of [syslog support] on Windows is a huge gap. However, I believe such a project should be standalone, and probably outside of Boost.
in my humble opinion, platform-independence is one of the key benefits that I'd expect from using a library such as Boost.Log. If your library doesn't provide that, then I would not want to see it included in Boost.
If you provide the syslog client API implementation for Windows, I'm sure the library will work out of box with it. The library does not aim to reimplement every native API it uses, it simply allows to employ different ways of logging in a unified manner. And, maybe, a little more. This may not be enough for your needs, but I believe others might find it useful.
