instead of the traditional simple counter. Using the time-stamp based file-names, once a log file is archived, it will not change name until it is deleted. This means that many backup systems will only perform one backup of the archived log file, instead for performing a new backup of the logfile upon each logfile rotation. This implementation is separate from the patches in the mentioned PR, as I wasn't aware of the existence of the PR until after I had implemented the same functionality as the patches in the PR provide. Unlike the PR, this new code does honor the 'log count' in newsyslog.conf so old logfiles are deleted. This new code does not currently support never deleting the archived logfiles.
