I once implemented a syslogd for HP-UX using message queues. I have posted
it to comp.sources.unix some time ago, but I can mail it if you cannot find
it.

Features: (almost) BSD compatible, no network support, runs as a daemon,
communicates with message queues.
If no daemon is running, calling 'syslog' is effectivily a no-op.
I have used it when I tried to get sendmail running.
