Hello all!

    This is about the fact that the DailyRollingAppender does not roll at
the top-of-the-period that is set, but instead at the first log after
that time has passed.
    This issue is the one listed in bug 10560 (DailyRollingAppender does
not roll each period). I thought I might lay this here to check for
opinions.

    I propose a small fix to that situation: Attached is an extension of
DailyRollingAppender that has an extra (optional) parameter that can
be set to force the appender to rollover at the top of the set period.
    I called it TimeBasedRollingFileAppender to not call it
DailyRollingAppenderWithTheOptionToForceRollover) but I am not
specially attached to that name :D

    The idea is to either extend the current DailyRolling with the
introduced option, or to include this appender along (maybe then
finding it a better name :)

    If it is indeed a useful and acceptable update, please go ahead and
include it (I believe CVS access is read-only to common mortals)

    What do you think? Comments, suggestions?

Thank!
