Logrotate seems to be popular with the distros. I can't find the
source anywhere. Here's what debian and redhat are using (different
versions):

http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/repo/dist/logrotate/logrotate-3.7.4.tar.gz/dcf518fe08ae3825e00b38b909d152d9/logrotate-3.7.4.tar.gz

I think if you hunkered down, you could right a pretty simple script
and cron job. I've been meaning to do this myself for a while. Here's
a shell implementation:
