If you want to use logrotate, go ahead and use it. We haven't disabled
logrotate, we're just no longer using it in various places. We made the
change to make it efficient to use rsync to mirror log files to another
server. Renaming every log file makes rsync very inefficient.

We are moving all that stuff into a library, but until we do that you have
no alternative but to cut and paste what's there. It might be ugly, but
it'll work.
