I am using app-admin/metalog (http://metalog.sourceforge.net/) as logger. 
It does not create single log files, but directories, containing multiple 
files, and does the rotation itself. The current file's name is 'current', 
the others have a time stamp in it. You can limit the maximum length or 
time, and the total number of files. I have it set up so that I get one 
file per day, and keep the last 30 files, so I have the complete log of 
one month.
