Arbitrary directives for global and http contexts

[motiejus]

Some directives are available in customized and/or paid nginx versions. How can we support these?

For example, a very useful syslog patch is available only as a custom patch, and will likely be never included upstream. However, it is extremely useful. I see two approaches:

1. add explicit support for syslog (and friends) to this module.
2. add support for arbitrary directives in global and http contexts, like we already have arbitrary directives in location contexts. That way, all "special" features can be covered.

Please let me know which one you prefer. Maybe neither of them, then what would be the suggestions?

N/A. nginx 1.7.1+ supports syslog, but using different syntax. Closing.
