Funny, after thinking about this for quite some time now, suddenly,
after talking to the Catalyst folks yesterday, I realized that you can
already do that! :)

See, there's nothing special about $c->log->debug() except that it
obtains a reference to a Log4perl logger (given you're using Log4perl
with Catalyst of course). DEBUG() in :easy mode does exactly the same.

So, just use Log::Log4perl::Catalyst to initialize Log4perl with
Catalyst (check the manpage for that) and then use Log::Log4perl
qw(:easy) for the macros.

I've added it to the documentation:

     http://github.com/mschilli/log4perl/commit/aeaf10cca8e8c5ba64bc2783109dc5b345436d91

Enjoy! :)
