i would be real nice is newsyslog also supported a date based file renaming
shceme rather than the cyclic 0,1,2,3, much like the datext option in
logrotate. eg

messages
messages.20100422
messages.20100421
messages.20100420
...

The cyclic renaming is a pain for incremental backups as all the log files
are backed up every time as their contents changes compared to their
filename
