If you want a UN*X replacement for WinSyslog:

    http://www.winsyslog.com/en/

you should probably ask for a UN*X replacement for WinSyslog, rather than
asking to have a tool *not* intended to serve as a replacement for WinSyslog to
be modified to act as a replacement for WinSyslog.

Wireshark is a network analyzer, meaning that it's in the same niche as tools
such as Microsoft Network Monitor, Sniffer, {Ether,Token,Airo,Omni}Peek, etc.. 
It passively taps a network.

WinSyslog is a syslog daemon, meaning it directly listens for syslog packets,
just as syslogd on UN*X systems does.  A UN*X version of WinSyslog would
probably do a lot better job of replacing WinSyslog than would Wireshark, no
matter *what* you did to Wireshark, and would probably make those security
analysts a lot happier, with less software development effort, than would a
modified version of Wireshark.
