1) I don't think syslogging deserves a sub-module - it should be part of the main module itself.
2) Perhaps also having an option to not log to dblog would be too excessive as well.

I think it can be assumed that if a site has dblog/syslog modules installed, they want to log to them. If they don't have them installed, they don't want to log to them.

So I think some code like this should be enough:

if (module_exists('dblog')) {
  // Code to transform log to acceptable dblog array 

}

if (module_exists('syslog')) {
  // Code to add PHPIDS log to syslog

}

dblog and syslog will be treated equally on 7.x-2.x.

See appropriate tasks.
