Under Unix it would be a simple cron entry to run analog on Sunday with
command line options to limit it to a week and set the report output
location (assuming Analog is installed in the analog directory):
give cron:
17 2 * * 0 analog/analog +F-00-00-07 +T-00-00-01 -OCRUNCHLOG`date
+%y%m%d`.html
'17 2 * * 0' tells cron to run on Sundays at 2:17 AM.
+F-00-00-07 +T-00-00-01 tells Analog to process seven days ago through
yesterday.
-OCRUNCHLOG`date +%y%m%d`.html constructs a file name with YYMMDD in it
as a location for Analog to output the report.
Any reasonably competent Unix sysadmin should know how to set this up.

The server log format should probably be NCSA Combined format. In the
Apache configuration file use:
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-agent}i\""
It is very very very unlikely that this will require recompiling. The
server will just have to be restarted after editing the configuration
file.
You shouldn't use an ISP that doesn't understand how to do that. They
might not want to do it, it uses alot of disk space for the log, but they
better understand how to do it.
