I split it in several patches and pushed part of this.

=E2=80=98rottlog=E2=80=99 was looking for config files in OUT/etc, which ma=
de it
impossible for people to configure it.  So in commit
268ad34e0eadf8a015798b5c5587aad65b9f3a61 I changed it to look for
configuration files in /etc/rottlog.

Consequently, running =E2=80=9Crottlog=E2=80=9D alone won=E2=80=99t work; o=
ne has to provide
/etc/rottlog/{rc,daily} first.  We should have a GuixSD service that
does that.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
