Apache 2.2, rotatelogs.exe, and Windows

["Mark A. Craig" <mark.a.craig@xxxxxxxxx>]

I want to use rotatelogs.exe to archive my logs with Apache 2.2 running 
in Windows 2000.  WHen I try to configure it the server fails to start 
and bitches about Unicode characters on line 1 of httpd.conf that aren't 
actually there.  I've read the docs repeatedly, but it's not entirely 
explicit about how to implement it, esp. under Windows.

   LogFormat "%a/%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" 
\"%{User-Agent}i\"" ip-host-combined

   # don't log (RSS) requests from FeedBurner
   SetEnvIfNoCase Remote_Host "fetch.feedburner.com" dontlog
   # don't log MSN search bots
   SetEnvIfNoCase Remote_Host ".+\.search.live.com" dontlog
   # don't log Yahoo! search bots
   SetEnvIfNoCase Remote_Host ".+\.crawl.yahoo.net" dontlog
   # don't log Google search bots
   SetEnvIfNoCase Remote_Host ".+\.googlebot.com" dontlog
   SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI "^/robots\.txt$" dontlog
   SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI "^/favicon\.ico$" dontlog

   CustomLog logs/access_ip-host-combined.log ip-host-combined env=!dontlog
   #CustomLog "|bin/rotatelogs 
logs/access_ip-host-combined.%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S.log 2592000 -480" 
ip-host-combined env=!dontlog

Do I add a customlog pipe to rotatelogs IN ADDITION to existing log 
directives, or are they meant to replace the existing?  This is one of 
the things the docs fail to specify.  Another issue: what if I want an 
archived file of the form access_yyyy_mm-dd.LOG, as opposed to the 
example in the docs which shows the date-stamp BEING the extension?  
Does the parsing of rotatelogs allow such a variant?

Has anyone experimented with rotatelogs enough to know the answers to 
these questions?
