Question about xrename function

Hi,

In file debug.c, at line 208, I read this:

     /*
      * NOTE: we cannot use xrename here without having it in a
      * separate file -- tools.c has too many dependencies to be
      * used everywhere debug.c is used.
      */
     /* Rotate numbers 0 through N up one */
     for (i = Config.Log.rotateNumber; i > 1;) {
         i--;
         snprintf(from, MAXPATHLEN, "%s.%d", debug_log_file, i - 1);
         snprintf(to, MAXPATHLEN, "%s.%d", debug_log_file, i);
         rename(from, to);
     }

Why ?

I need to use xrename instead of rename to resolve some Microsoft Windows
issues on cache.log rotating.
