[ZendTo] NSSDROPBOX_DATA_DIR and logrotate

[Jules]

John,

Sadly I don't think there's any way for logrotate to be able to execute 
code in order to work out the location of the log files it needs to 
rotate. An easy alternative solution would just be
     ln -sn /var/zendto-storage/zendto /var/zendto
Then any references to /var/zendto which I can't fix automatically (of 
which the logrotate.d file is a fine example) will still work.

But yes, your change to /etc/logrotate.d/zendto should survive updates.

Cheers,
Jules.
