Does anyone _object_ to adding this in support ? Either for 1.3 or from
2.0 onwards ? (After perhaps a further update to the man page; to mention
the hint which is in the C code:

One reason I have for adding it is that it will allow us to put jet an
other tick in the comparison tables between web servers; that of able
to rotate log files on date out of the box.
Note that the code as it stand is _not_ portable; I'd need to go over
it to catch the O_CREAT and the likes. But ap_compat.h has the works.
