Based on the feedback in March, I've made some changes to my
earlier change.  The way it works now is that *if* the -C
option is specified once, then newsyslog will create any log
files which do not exist, *and* which have the 'C' flag
specified in their config file entry.

If the -C option is specified multiple times, then all missing
log files are created, without carrying if they have a 'C' flag
specified.  With this change in, I would then change rc.diskless2
so it runs 'newsyslog -CC' (instead of what it does now, which
is very icky...)

If any files are also given on the command line, then the -C
or -CC will only apply to the specified log files.

Does this seem reasonable?  I'd like to commit this to current
on Sunday (the .diff even includes the change for the man page!).
