On the way.

There's *no* information passing from the logging process, with the 
single exception of the latest logfile timestamp (if allowed). I'd 
rather like to have that information from the logger, to be safe in case 
the system time was manipulated and the last logfile is not the current one.
The rest is just a reworked version of pg_dir_ls, with internal 
knowledge of how the timestamp is formatted.

Andreas
