 The log reader plugin should support a "original source" directory for
 each log directory. This would be used primarily by migration-assistant.
 It would copy the logs from Windows (for example) to Linux and set the
 destination directory as the main directory for logs. The Windows
 directory would be set as the "source" directory. The log reader plugin
 would check both directories and use the newer content. This would allow
 the log reader plugin to work like it's supposed to (reading data on the
 fly), and migration-assistant to work properly (doing a one-time
 migration). The only way you'd run into a problem is if you deleted the
 Windows logs without copying them. You'd lose any changes that happened
 after you ran migration-assistant. I'm not sure how to deal with that, or
 if we need to.
