Max,

I don't see #3 as needing hackish code...  If a function is added to class
LogFile that returns the filename for a particular log level, something
like

String const &
LogFile::setFile (int minlevel)
{
  for (FileSet::iterator i = files.begin();
       i != files.end(); ++i)
    {
      if (i->level == minlevel)
        return i->key;
    }
}

and then cygpath transformation functions are used to transform its result
to a Windows filename, #3 seems pretty doable...
