[mythtv-users] logpath and having pids in log file names?

So, it seems on master that there is now a "--logpath" switch instead of
the "--logfile" switch.  And this ends up creating log file names with
dates and pids in them -- completely unpredictable.

So no longer is one able to simply "tail -f
/var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log" and always be getting the latest log,
right?  This really sucks for people who have persistent log file
monitors that depend on a consistent filename.
