Normally the --logfile option is used to send atftpd's logs to
someplace other than syslog.  If logs are to be sent to stderr/stdout,
the man page recommends using /dev/stderr or /dev/stdout.
Unfortunately, these are symlinks to /proc/self/fd/, and those links
do not work if stdin/stdout is a pipe rather than an actual file with
a pathname (otherwise they're broken symlinks to "pipe:[1831]" or
something like that).

The patch below lets the user pass "-" as a log file name to have logs
sent to stdout:

I would appreciate it if you would consider the patch for inclusion.
