I have some part of the fix done in the form of a custom file stream
that opens the file with FILE_SHARE_DELETE sharing flag set, which
should allow deleting and renaming of open files. It needs some more
testing and integration into the actual log4cplus code base and
FileAppender code.

I am attaching the source just in case anybody wants to beat me to it.
