[log4perl-devel] Re: Recognize Perl/Java appenders

[Kevin G. <ke...@go...>]

OK, I just implemented that and a few other tweaks.  It's probably 
precipitous to include them in your pending release, just to be 
conservative.

I got rid of the warnings printed during 014ConfErrs.t about 'ambiguous 
use of require without parens, tweaked the error messages given for bad 
config files, and added hooks to JavaMap so users can add their own.

Changes are checked in, a diff is attached if anybody's curious.
