When debugging stuff that occurs over several forks it would be useful
not to keep overwriting the one logfile you've set-up. This allows a
simple %d to be included once in the logfile parameter which is
substituted with getpid().

Why g_strrstr instead of strstr?  There should be only one, so why look for the 
last?

For that matter, why use a heavyweight regex, when you can achieve the
same validation with the faster:

char *tmp = strchr(filename, '%');
if (tmp) {
    if (tmp[1] != 'd' || strchr(tmp + 2, '%')) {
        ...report invalid string
    }

Yeah, my fault for using the glib functions, I guess
g_strstr_len(filename, -1, "%d") would be the glib equivalent for
strstr.

For option parsing I'm not too worried about speed. At least a regex
gives the explicit format we expect (for those that read regex). I guess
I can do it manually if preferred.
