Can the log dir be moved to an alternative location while retaining the NB
Platform's default logging mechanism ?

I'm aware the user dir as a whole can be moved. My question is specifically
about log dir.

From an operational point of view it makes sense for an application to
differentiate between configuration data and temporary data like log files.

I've looked into the source (TopLogging.java) and it seems the location is
hardcoded to <userdir>/var/log but I'm curious if others have had to deal
with the same issue ?
