...but note that unless you are dong something fancy, log4j doesn't
need any separate initialization steps as long as the log4j config
file is set up properly and in the classpath so log4j's static
initializer can find it.

One problem I have run into before is when there are two log4j.xml
files in the classpath, the first one log4j finds is what is used,
which is probably not the one intended.
