Even though it is not stated anywhere, my intention has always been to
keep only source compatibility between versions.

I have seen the other email from John Lumby. While the change in the
return type is intentional, I did not realize it would create this
incompatibility. I guess that the onus is on log4cplus to fix this and
provide a compatible interface. I will try to think of something.
