At this point there is no way to retrieve the file name. This would have
to be solved by adding some, e.g., getFilename(), accessor to the
FileAppender class. In any case, there will be no path normalization,
what the class receives in ctor or in properties that will be stored in
FileAppender::filename member variable. Feel free to send a patch
implementing such FileAppender::getFilename() function.
