[syslog-ng]circular logging & control structure based destination

[Glen Williams]

Dan Bernstein's multilog sort of has what you need for file size limits. All
his stuff just uses pipes, so you can stick it in a syslog-ng config easily.
It's not really circular, as when the file hits it's limit, it gets rotated.
The current file is always called the same thing, so it should suit.

This software is at http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html
