I see -- this would be the cleanest solution.

I thought the UTC-filenames would be quite trivial to implement because
the timestamps already exist for use with the -tt option but i didn't 
look at the consequences for the log directory.

My C programming skills are quite limited -- but i can offer to test 
early versions of svlogp if you decide to work on it.

true -- was not a good idea.
