not woody, sid.
CustomLog "|/usr/sbin/rotatelogs /path/to/access.log 86400" combined
/usr/sbin/rotatelogs was in apache-common before, but no longer seems to
be. The 1.3.29 apache tarball still has it, though :/
The real problem here, however, is that apache simply hangs when you log
to a pipe and the program you are logging to is not found. No error could
be found anywhere and the end result is that all apache children end up
hung and once you reach MaxClients the server is unusuable.
