If I recall correctly, Wes Peters was interested in doing something
similar with syslogd in FreeBSD. The one thing I'd suggest is that
you still let newsyslog do the file rotation. I did had some new
features to newsyslog to help with this, but I don't think Wes ever
made the matching changes to syslogd. He might have made the changes
to the 5.x-branch, but never MFC'ed them into 4.x. I did MFC my
changes to newsyslog.
