You can send messages to a program which receives the messages on
stdin using the pipe() destination. Simply add up the length of each
line you receive and rotate the log filenames when you hit your limit.
Perl would of course be ideal for this. Also, remember that programs
started by pipe() are only started once, and should have a while(<>)
loop or equivalient.
