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

‘rottlog’ was looking for config files in OUT/etc, which made it
impossible for people to configure it.  So in commit
268ad34e0eadf8a015798b5c5587aad65b9f3a61 I changed it to look for
configuration files in /etc/rottlog.

Consequently, running “rottlog” alone won’t work; one has to provide
/etc/rottlog/{rc,daily} first.  We should have a GuixSD service that
does that.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
