It's far easier than I thought when I used valgrind for the first time:
simply install a recent release and start rsyslog as usual, just add
"valgrind" before rsyslog (so valgrind is the command and rsyslog an
arguement". e.g.

$ ./rsyslogd -c3

becomes

$ valgrind ./rsyslogd -c3

That's it! :-)

There are a couple of options for valgrind, but for starters the defaults are fine.
