Description:
------------
I've wrriten a patch that adds a lineLimit feature to the file
handler of the Log package, so that logs can be kept down to a
certain number of lines automatically.

http://phpfi.com/163665

Test script:
---------------
<?php

require_once 'Log.php';

$conf = array('mode' => 0600, 'timeFormat' => '%X %x',
'lineLimit' => 20, 'append' => true);
$logger = &Log::singleton('file', 'out.txt', 'ident', $conf);
for ($i = 0; $i < 50; $i++) {
$logger->log("Log entry $i");
}

Expected result:
----------------
50 log entries will be written, but the log file will, in the
end, contain only the last 20 of those entries (31-50).

Actual result:
--------------
The same! This patch has been tested and maintains backward
compatibility. I don't expect any problems unless lineLimit
is set to something that doesn't make sense (that is,
something other than a positive integer).
