You can overwrite FileAppender#setFile() to do this. The drawback is  
you need maitain this branch by yourself.
We met such problems before and created our own tree of  
FileAppender/RollingFileAppender.
Of course it's better to add it into the current log4j code. Let's  
wait for Ceki's comments.
