Hi,

Just came across the same thing myself.  The tool you are looking for is
SuSEconfig.  The command 'SuSEconfig --module syslog-ng' will parse your
syslog-ng.conf.in and generate /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf.

I can't immediately find a way of getting SuSEconfig to generate a list of
available modules, but I'll let you know if I come across anything.

Rgds,
