Summary: PatternLayout: printing just the file name

Initial Comment:
Right now, when using %F in a pattern, the filename as seen by the compiler gets used. This can include parts of a relative path, especially for headers (but also when an out-of-tree build was used while compiling the source). This looks ugly.

I have two suggestions:
- Change %F (and %l) to just print the substring after the last directory seperator ("/" or "\", depending on OS).
- Add new modifiers that do the above.

Please let me know if you see this as an issue that should be fixed and which fix you would prefer.

Thanks,
Uli
