Err, could we make that a default which can be overrided? I would 
suggest that if the specified log file name is a simple file name 
'xxx.yyy' you prepend the application directory, otherwise use whatever 
is supplied (be it an absolute or relative path). I try and avoid 
writing log files to my application directories.
