Use FQDN in message instead of 'windows computer name' [patch]

[GoogleCodeExporter]

We'd like to feed the event logs into a SIEM. In order to do correlation, the 
SIEM needs the IP address (or a resolvable hostname) and using %COMPUTERNAME% 
doesn't get us there. The attached patch will find the first IP address on the 
system and use that in the syslog message. If the IP is resolvable to a FQDN, 
then that will be used. This feature is optional by specifying the command line 
option "-a" when installing the service.

Hmm. This got submitted as a defect, but is an enhancement.
