70fa0440ad - implement logfile archivation to a separate, user
configurable directory
- implement alternate and more flexible way to specify
  logfile rotation time in addition to the ISO 8601
  restricted format
- cleanup the source which was a mix of several styles
  of persons who maintained it so far, ran through
  knfom script got from bde.

f2e366a105 Remove single-space hard sentence breaks. These degrade the quality
of the typeset output, tend to make diffs harder to read and provide
bad examples for new-comers to mdoc.

d00fc946ed Correctly refer to the companion program rather than as "chown".
Clean up wording a little (like I have any idea what real English looks like...)

63b5983b9e Syntax for user/group is changed from "user.group" to "user:group" to be
consistant with chown(8).

8fba304b43 A slight bit of code and doco cleanup, but mostly:
Add the much-needed and long-desired ability to force the log rotation
to take place on a specific day or time, and document same.  This works
by extending the syntax of the `when' field to allow a restricted
ISO 8601 time specification, and performing the log rotation if newsyslog
is run during the same hour as is specified.

dc55fe4c05 Add optional config file field: signal number to send (defaulted to HUP)
F.e. apache restarts less agressively  on USR1 then on HUP

28a9b05b87 Arg! Someone fixed the synopsis in -stable's newsyslog.8, but not
in -current.  However, they fixed both the ordering and the missing -F
flag.  Merge from 22 and fix ordering here, too.

cd6f8bd276 1) Remove a line that somehow strayed from the one true path of
its sentence.
2) Fix usage (-F option).

ea3b35174b Allow a '-' flag as a placeholder so that path_to_pid_file
can be specified without the flags field.
Fix bogus "trail" left in parse routine where the code jumps
past the end of the line and wanders into oblivion.

3d807d3be6 1) Add yet one optional field: pid file to send SIGHUP to if log rotated
(good thing for apache f.e.) This change is backward compatible with old
newsyslog.conf files.

2) Do not compress log if SIGHUP sending failed for some reason
(f.e. pid file deleted). Newcoming messages will be lost
otherwise.

3) Misc cleanup while I am here.

1130b656e5 Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore.  This update would have been
insane otherwise.

abf212be33 Obtained from: NetBSD
imported the newsyslog command from NetBSD - it make the "rotation" of
the logfiles much simpler (it is currently done by "hand" in the
/etc/[daily,weekly,monthly] scripts) - now it will be done by invoking
newsyslog every hour which is very customizable via a
/etc/newsyslog.conf file
