Another thought:  Post-process just the .1 log after the rotation, so
the system rotations doesn't upset your logs (you don't miss things).
Use a script that writes your own logs to dated files, appending the
data to the right date files (that takes care of some of yesterdays and
some of todays messages in the processed log).  Handled your own dated
logs separately from the system, and let the system rotate and remove
its own logs as it usually does.
