Christian,

If you want size- or time-based rotation, that can be configured
directly using ZConfig.

There's a package called zc.signalhandler in the Zope Corporation
repository that I'll be open-sourcing.  It'll let you include
something like this in your zope.conf:

    <signalhandlers myapp>
      usr2  ZConfig.components.logger.loghandler.reopenFiles
    </signalhandlers>

That will let you re-open ZConfig-configured log files based on a
signal.  (The "myapp" is a turdly bit caused by using the same schema
bits as <product-info> sections in the zope.conf schema.)
