  The configuration files contain the most up-to-date description of the
configuration.

  That's accepted for backwards compatibility.  The *preference* is just
"destination", inside of the "log" section.  "log_destination" inside of
the "log" section won't work.  "log_destination" *outside* of the "log"
section might work.

  The log destination is parsed before other configuration directives...
to ensure that the logs go to the right place.

  See also 2.1.1, which has a number of fixes.
