[RADIATOR] Multiple accounting output formats

[Vangelis Kyriakakis]

Hello Tuure,

     Thanks for this addition to Radiator.
     Can the new AcctLog mechanism be used together with the
AcctLogFileName/AcctLogFileFormat configuration commands, or the use of
the former prevents the use of the latter?

        Regards
            Vangelis

Outputting to multiple files is easy, but of course adding the formatting hook for JSON output causes both files to be in that format.
