#7 [remote-files] Create a new appender for Log4j to send event

[This item was moved over from OpenMind. Feature RQ#261]

It would be nice to have a Log4j appender that adds events directly to Insight. The initial target for this appender would be the Log4j 1.2.x branch, and when 1.3 or 2.0 are out, we could move up. Or classes could actually be provided for multiple of these if Log4j supports.

For reference on appender implementation have a look at:
- http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/api/org/apache/log4j/Appender.html
- http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/api/org/apache/log4j/AppenderSkeleton.html
- http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/api/org/apache/log4j/net/SocketAppender.html

The appender would send the events to Insight directly using the Insight Remote Protocol.
