No sure if it is a good idea to integarte log rotation directly into 
wpkg. This one could easily be done by regularily scheduling a simple 
jscript deleting all files older than a specific date. Additionally you 
could also do things like packing old logs and move them to a different 
location. This approach reduces complexity of wpkg and still gives you 
all the flexibility you need.

However what IMHO is still missing is the flexibility to specify that 
logs are appended and not overwritten. If you look at other apps you 
will find that appending to logs it the most often default behavour for 
logging because this ensures that no important information gets lost.

Just my 2 cents.
