[bind10-dev] consider log4cplus for logging

[Jeremy C. Reed]

We should also consider testing log4cplus.

http://log4cplus.sourceforge.net/

It is a port of log4j to C++ originally started in 2004. The original 
source used to be the Apache Standard License 1.1, then that license 
changed to ASL 2.0. The new parts done from scratch are licensed under a 
BSD license. It has had releases in 2004, 2009, 2010, and 2011.

A feature list is at:

http://log4cplus.sourceforge.net/projstatus.html

It also includes log rotation (it called it "rolling").

It has been tested on various platforms including Windows. I emailed the 
main developer and he was quick to respond.

The API docs are at:
http://log4cplus.sourceforge.net/docs/html/index.htmlhttp://log4cplus.sourceforge.net/docs/html/index.html

And simple examples at:
http://log4cplus.sourceforge.net/codeexamples.html

An article with examples is at:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cpp/Log4cplus.aspx

It has some tests. I made a package for it for pkgsrc and tested on 
NetBSD. It is said it is smaller than log4cpp, but I didn't confirm that 
yet.

The log4cplus is used in HP Remote Graphics Software (Catia), Sybase 
Open Server, McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator, Chase Paymentech / NetConnect 
SDK, ParaXip Gateway / Sangoma Express Gateway, and many other 
commercial projects.
