[Swift-devel] log naming

[Mihael Hategan]

Having exclusively the date there might cause conflicts. How about
something like this:
MolDyn-20070705-1149-abcdef.log?

So there would be the date, in a more readable form (it is already
included very cryptically in the current scheme), and some smaller
random number.
