I think this patch is much better.

It would be good if the maximum logfiles to keep would be
configurable; making it part of the ordinary xend configuration would
do.

Also, one minor stylistic point.  This idiom
    if os.path.exists(self.logfile + ".%d" % nr_max_log_rotation):
is rather unusual, although not actually wrong.  It combines string
concatenation and %-formatting.  Surely one of
    "%s.%d" % (self.logfile, nr_max_log_rotation)
    self.logfile + '.' + `nr_max_log_rotation`
would be better ?  (I would have used the former.)

Ian.
