Yes, I was looking into that at first, but hadn't gotten there quite
yet.  It would be awesome if somebody came up with a patch first :)  I
assume that it would be as simple as adding another to struct wpa_params
for the path to the logfile, as a char [PATH_MAX] or something like
that.  Not sure what needs to be done on the windows side, though if the
field is NULL then it could simply default to the current Windows
logfile location when wpa_debug_use_file is true.

Shouldn't be too hard.
