Fair enough. Usually the 'better' way to solve this as it currently stands is to bunch the logs needed in appropriate shell and pipe into awffull.
eg. If you're rotating multiple times a day, the sensible trick would be to date+time stamp the logs, so a single glob could catch the lot:
zcat logs.2010-08-01*.gz | awffull ...

Or as part of the rotation, spawn off an awfull run on the newly rotated logfile.

But yeah, being able to process > 1 log on the cmd line in particular would be good.
Issues around appropriate merging of time info, so the order of logs didn't matter; so not as simple as we may like unf.
