  I submitted on the PRs on this issue...

  "-m" seems a bit specific.  What about weekly and daily options too?  If
you do, newsyslog starts looking a lot like cron.  Using newsyslog to
rotate non-syslog created log files is rather a stretch.  Using newsyslog
for non-text "logs" is even more of stretch.

  Perhaps wtmp rotation should just be done by cron right in the monthly
script, where the accounting processing happens?
