I tried and abandoned the file destination template feature of syslog-ng to 
create directories and files named by year,month,day.  I have several 
downstream tools which expect to be looking at sshd.log; adapting them to 
look at a different filename is a chore I wish to avoid for now.

I ended up compromising by writing my own cron job to stop the services with 
cygrunsrv, move and compress the log, then start the services.  I hope this 
won't break too often.
