Except that now all callers of md_syslog have to change.  That's no good.
Every single caller of md_syslog would have to ensure that its first argument
didn't contain any printf-sequences, and most calls would devolve to:

	md_syslog($facility, "%s", $msg);

which is why I did it the first way originally.
