SC> No, I don't use it. Is there a brief description of what it does?

    Nope. My english is too bad to make such usefull description :((.
Purpose of this machinery is to provide a way to write different
configurators that independed of knowledge what appenders/layout/etc exists.
If you look on PropertyConfiguratorImpl.cpp you will see that
PropertyConfiguratorImpl knows all about appenders/layouts/etc that exists
in the library. But if I write my own appender or layout it can't be
configured with help of PropertyConfigurator because it doesn't know
anything about it. If PropertyConfigurator will be rewrited using Factory
stuffs it will be generic and can be used for configuring my
appender/layout.

SC> I'll pull the tree again and try it out.

    I tested it on msvc6 + sp5.
