OK, so we could use a yearly and a monthly increment (and skip date for
now, to make things easier to increment).

Note that to make it easier on the folks who can stick things in crontab,
Mj2 has a trigger that runs (via a couple of master cron entries) once per
hour and once per day.
But you could also call the hypothetical command to increment the volume
number yourself. I will probably implement this first. Hmm:
digest-incvol - bumps volume number and resets issue
digest-force - forces digest generation (like mkdigest of old)
digest-trigger - tickles digest algorithm (in case standard hourly tickle
isn't enough)
Now, what did 'mkdigest' do? Did it force digest generation regardless of
size limits, or did it just tickle the selection algorithm?
(You can probably see that I've never run digests.)
