file_appender rotation

[odi]

There's another interesting thing that I've seen:
when I run profiler on code that was only logging messages I noticed
it spent majority of time in io_format functions but it also spent
some time in file:file_name_1. I suppose it happens during rotation
when file's size is checked - it would be a nice feature if user was
able to turn rotation off - for example by setting value in
configuration file to 0.

Ahha. I see it is useful for large files. I'll implement this in the
next release. If you're in a hurry, let me know. This shouldn't be
very difficult.

It is useful in each system that logs a lot of messages - during each
check you have to construct file's name with
File = Dir ++ "/" ++ Fname ++ "." ++ Suf,
which isn't especially effective (maybe store file's name in
file_appender state), and then you also have to check file's size;)

I'll do this. I like your comments as it helps to optimize log4erl. I
initially concentrate on functionality and then performance. Maybe
it's not the best way.

Anyways, please keep your suggestions coming.
