Sadly, POSIX says that logger has no options so busybox have every right 
to refuse to add it. Will you ask them and report back here please?

Saying that, adding support for -i should be very trivial seeing as 
POSIX syslog(3) requires LOG_PID anyway.

While we could also add a logger test to the configure script, it would 
have a side effect of logging on success and I'm not sure that's a good 
thing!
