[Log4cpp-devel] RollingFileAppender: added maxFileAge

[Scott M <sm...@ya...>]

I couldn't stand that RollingFileAppender didn't roll based on time, so I
added it. Turned out to only be a few lines of code.

Basically it allows you to specify how often, in minutes, you want your log
rotated:

log4j.appender.A1.maxFileAge=5

will roll every 5 minutes.

Assuming you have it enabled (set to zero for no time-based rolling), the
per-log event cost is a single time() call and a compare.

Has someone already done this? Seems too trivial to have been left out.
