Argus 2.0 wishes

	The discussion on signals jogged my mind for another request (which
fits in with the config file). I'd like a signal that will switch log files.
When the signal hits, argus flushes all the open flows to the current log 
file (but keeps the current state in memory still) as if it had sigHUPed,
writes the terminate record, closes the file and opens a new one (file name 
created from parameters in the argus config file) and continues on without
really shutting down. I'm working on something like that (slowly!) externally
 with the shadow startup perl scripts, but internal to argus would be even 
better because of not loosing current active state from shutdowns.
