http://awstats.sourceforge.net/docs/awstats_faq.html#PERSONALIZEDLOG
seems to support your results - it needs setting for one format, in order
to parse the log file properly.
I guess what you need is a choice of configs depending on log format?
have you looked at these:
http://awstats.sourceforge.net/awstats_contrib.html#CONTRIB
it mentions a python converter tool to convert old IIS4.0 logs
and this might be useful:

but I think you might need to jiggle the logs about to get them all into
one common format for AWstats.
