Re: Log File Rollover and Filter.

I am in the process of making some major modifications to log4cxx which 
I hope to get the initial commit in a few days.  When reviewing 
RollingFileAppender, it does appear that it will have to be almost 
rewritten.  I've stubbed it out in my working copy at the moment.

What is troubling is that the unit tests did not pick this up.  Either 
there are not unit tests in the log4j suite that test this behavior or 
they were not ported to log4cxx.  It would be helpful if you could 
review the RollingFileAppender unit tests (if any) in the log4j CVS and 
write any necessary tests and submit them as a bug report to log4j 
through their Bugzilla.  If you do that, then I can pick them up and 
port them to log4cxx.
