Patch to rotatelogs.c to add '-L filename' support.
With rotatelogs there's no simple way to determine which log file is current.
The attached patch adds a -L option allowing you to specify a filename to be
hardlinked from the current log file. E.g.:
rotatelogs -L /var/log/apache/access -l /var/log/apache/access 604800
arranges for /var/log/apache/access to always exist as a hardlink to the
currently active version of access.nnnn. Now commands such as 'tail -F
/var/log/apache/access' will work again.
The patch is simple, but assumes the presence of link(2). I see the APR trunk
has added an apr_file_link() which would be a better solution.
