The Text::SimpleTable module in Catalyst routinely generates multi-line strings which Catalyst routinely sends to it's logging output which when piped into Log::Dispatch::Syslog looks very messy in the end result. This patch allows these outputs to show up reasonably in syslog logs.

For backwards compatibility, this would have to be an option (off by default). Tests wouldn't hurt either ;)

Ok, I'm not quite sure what a straightforward mechanism for testing syslog output is, any clues for me? Not yet checked existing tests, so maybe that's where to start.

Unfortunately, I don't have any syslog tests either. I think the way to do it would be to monkey-patch Sys::Syslog to override it's functions and then check what gets passed to them.
