Yep, I'm concluding that also.

It just wasn't clear to me from the documentation whether or not the 
existing TimedRotatingFileHandler had any "at startup, see if we missed 
any rollovers, and do them now if so" function, or if there was some known 
variant that does.  The answer, apparently, being "nope".  :)  Shouldn't 
be that hard to write, so that's probably what we'll do.
