Just:

 ...Logs/%Y/%m/%d_ib.log

(although the files will be 01_ib.log, 02_ib.log, etc rather than 
1_ib.log, 2_ib.log -- as strftime puts in a leading zero for %d for 
single digit days.

I have put the file up on the "patches" page of cronolog.org

On *nix try:

   patch <patchfile

in the "appropriate" directory.  I.e. if the paths in the patch start 
"cronolog-1.6.2/src/..." then you could apply the patch from the 
directory containing the cronolog-1.6.2 directory, althernatively you 
could use the -p option to strip off a prefix, so you could apply the 
patch in your cronolog directory by saying:

   patch -p1 <patchfile

the -p1 will strip off one level of directory from the pathnames 
embedded in the patch (which may be useful if the top level directory 
name in the patch does not match your top-level directory name).

For more information see the patch manual page.
