Yea, It imagines Dave now.:-)

Yes, eventlog is necessary for the one for Windows. I expect pgevent again.
They do the origin for include of slon-daemon. It is control by slon.conf.
Probably, syslog option contains eventlog, and it is expanded.

syslog plan..

0: off
1: syslog and the standard output
2: only syslog
3: eventlog (new option) ?

or , As a case of the windows

0: off
1: eventlog and the standard output
2: only eventlog

Which is more suitable?
