This may be assumed, but i think only root can change the ownership of
a file (not sure, but 'man fchown' seems to confirm), so such a zLog
option would only be usable when the logger is called by a
root/privileged process.  Maybe that's ok, but it could be confusing
as part of the interface for the logger - maybe suggesting that the
functionality belongs elsewhere.
