You'll need a Config.in file for eventlog as well.

For library dependencies, we generally use "select".

And we generally add the main website of the package here, at the end
of the help text.

I haven't checked what --enable-dynamic-linking does. But if it's
dynamic linking against libraries, then you don't need a separate
option for that, just use BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB.
Is syslog-ng a complete replacement for sysklogd ?
