What do Log4j-1.2 and Logback do in the above scenarios? Considering easy migration, \
we probably want to follow them (unless they do something very strange...)

Edit:
To answer my own question: 
* Monthly rollover occurs at the beginning of each month.
* Weekly rollover occurs at the first day of each week. The first day of the week \
                depends on the locale.
* Daily rollover occurs at midnight each day.
* Log4J-1.2 also has an option to rollover both at midnight and at noon during the \
                day, so twice each day.
* Hourly rollover occurs at the beginning of each hour.
* Minutely(?) rollover occurs at the beginning of each minute.

> Attempting to use FastRollingFile appender and configure log file rollover to occur \
> monthly.  When {{filePattern="logs/app-%d\{yyyy-MM}.log.gz"}} is used, at \
> application startup an archive file is created immediately (app-2013-01.log.gz) \
> even if no log previously existed.  A log file is created, but only a single entry \
> is made into the log.
