Comment:

 I did consider Michal's point. Although solutions are possible (e.g. have
 the logger store messages in memory if called before initialization,
 outputting them through the normal logging system once logging has been
 successfully initialized), as Jinmei has said on bind10-dev, we should not
 really have a lot of code in static initializers. It therefore didn't seem
 worth implementing an elaborate solution for something that might never
 happen.

 For this reason, the code has been modified to throw an exception if a
 logging method is called before logging initialization is done.  We can
 revisit this if it proves to be a problem.

 Change is commit 80dd433545aecf82aa178365dbc6e0650e12907b.  It is not
 planned to have a !ChangeLog entry for this modification.
