v2.0 will have better support for these kind of things, but for now you
could use a dynamically generated config file. Before running deliver
you'd create a config for it using perl or whatever where the log_path
is set like you want it.

Unfortunately not. I added this to my TODO now. It wouldn't be difficult
to modify deliver's sources for this though.
