Dear Ulrich Heinicke,

we used environment variables for that in our project.

log4cplus.appender.ROLLFILE.File=${LOGFILE_PATTERN}

And in sthe code something like:

---8<---
// put some variables in the environment that can be used in the
// configuration file
setenv("LOGFILE_PATTERN", "/my/cool/log/file", 0);
--->8---

But I'm curious if there is another way to do that.
