Daemon to rotate, compress, remove and mail system log files.
I try to make it work just like /usr/sbin/newsyslog.
With logrotate, you can mail syslog and execute command
before or after logrotate.
sysutils/logrotate: Fix Logrotate to work by default
If the file /var/log/lastlog is missing, logrotate fails, even if other
configs are available.
Add "missingok" to this block so other logrorate blocks located in
${PREFIX}/etc/logrotate.d/ will function as expected when that one file
is unavailable.
While here remove unnecessary GNU_CONFIGURE_MANPREFIX.

Ensure that there is only one variable definition per each object, as
the C (and C++) standards mandated for years and compilers started to
enforce as of recently (Clang 11, GCC 10).

sysutils/logrotate: 3.8.7 -> 3.8.8, fix mail sending
- Add support for building using autotools/automake.
Using "./autogen.sh", "./configure" and "make" is now preferred way
how to build logrotate.
Old Makefile remains available, but it is deprecated and will be removed
in the future. Please report any problem related to new build system.
- Add support for systems which do not support fork (use vfork instead)
and madvise.
- Fix bug when wrong log file has been removed in case of dateext and
dateformat %d-%m-%Y.
- Do not expect that the name of root account is 'root'.
- Do not stop rotation with an error when olddir and log file
are on different devices and copy or copytruncate is used.
- Return an error code when parent directory of log does not exist,
"su" directive is not used, logrotate is running as root and missingok
is not specified. [vcizek]
- Prepend error printed by compression program with the log name even when
the compression program exits with zero exit code.

- Olddir options fix
logrotate's path-type options (eg. compress, olddir,
just to name a few) fail because FreeBSD's libc
implements mbtrowc(3) differently, and returns -2 on
empty string. Linux version, however, returns 0.
A simple zero-length check added to path check function,
which hides this.
