That'd be nice, but a lot of systems have their own "rotate log" systems
and they may wish to centralize log rotation. Perhaps something like what
squid has (squid -k rotatelogs) would be a better solution, but one needs
to set up some kind of IPC. Or how about SIGUSR1 to rotate the logs... eh,
wot?
