/**
   DailyFileAppender extends FileAppender to use filenames formatted with
   date/time information. The filename is recomputed every day at midnight.
   Note that the filename doesn't have to change every day, making it possible
   to have logfiles which are per-week or per-month.

   The appender computes the proper filename using the formats specified in
   
   java.text.SimpleDateFormat. The format requires that most static text is
   enclosed in single quotes, which are removed. The examples below show how
   quotes are used to embed static information in the format.

   Sample filenames:


     Filename pattern                     Filename
     "'/logs/trace-'yyyy-MM-dd'.log'"     /logs/trace-2000-12-31.log
     "'/logs/trace-'yyyy-ww'.log'"        /logs/trace-2000-52.log
