Example: add extra arguments to svlogd that tell it where to put the "real" log files to... svlogd could maintain symlinks from the real log files to the /etc/sv/thingy/log/ directory. I don't much care about the supervise being in /etc/sv/thingy...it's annoying, but I can live with it. The lock file is a little more annoying, but it is just a part of svlog and probably can be moved as well....
