Technically I think you've fixed all the problems I raised. I really think we should be looking at either a logging library, or (better) syslog. These problems -- like logfile maxsize, logfile location, log rotation -- have all been solved before, and I don't believe we should reinvent this wheel. I'm keen to hear what others think though.
