Chris,

The zLOG package is used in other places than Zope.  Most of these
places either don't care about setuid, or have a different solution to
the setuid problem.  Let's put the burden where it should be: if Zope
wants to worry about not creating the logfile before the setuid()
call, let Zope do something special.  For everyone else, the default
behavior should be what it was: auto-initialize on import or on first
LOG() call, I don't care, but no additional calls required.
