Only an entry on my depressingly long personal to-do list :-(
I did take a look at the Apache rotator program, and found that it was
probably more trouble to adopt than it's worth. It seemed to depend on
a lot of configuration and library-routine infrastructure that we don't
share. (No big surprise; I suppose someone trying to pull out a random
bit of our backend code would be at least as unhappy.) I suspect it
would be less trouble, as well as legalistically cleaner, to write our
own from scratch.
Andrew Sullivan offered Afilias' rotator script awhile back also.
I think that works fine if you like a Perl script.
