Intended commit ...
I indent to commit the attached patch. It adds the
possibility to set system properties (they are
still retrieved from the environment if they do not exist yet
when they are read the first time).
This will allow applications to set any kind of system
property to configure very basic behaviour of log4cxx.
Its primarily a preparation for LOGCXX-126:
it will allow to set a system property like "log4cxx.useWideStreams"
very early in the application to switch to wide streams output
(We need a runtime configuration there; see my comment
at http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGCXX-126#action_12367428).
Thanks,
Andreas

"user.dir", the current user directory, might be modified by chdir.
Any of the environment variables could be changed by putenv. I think
it would be better to keep them retrieved on-demand if there is not a
match in the map of property values.

I thought about that, but there is also the internal LogLog logger
which can not be configured through a ConsoleAppender parameter.
Thats why I took the "global" approach, to make sure that *all* output
is always printed through the same stream.

Thats true. The values are written once into the appropriate system
properties.

They can be changed by the application by calling System::setProperty().
I dont know the internal implementation of the apr_()-Functions,
but is it possible that their return values (user name, temporary directory,
...) change at runtime?

I'll add comments back to that bug report. I'm scrambling on this,
but it looks like appropriate use of fwide() could ensure that
ConsoleAppender uses the correct mode if somebody else already wrote
to stdout before the first call to ConsoleAppender. Using a system
property to control this is down on my list of ways to approach the
problem, I'd rather had configuration parameters or a distinct
WideConsoleAppender before depending on a system property.

Been trying to avoid non-local static variables. In this case, I
doubt that props is ever reclaimed. I'd prefer something like:
static PropertiesPtr getProperties() {
static PropertiesPtr properties(new Properties());
return properties;
}

I could be misinterpreting this code since I'm looking at the patch
itself and not the patched code. It looks like your patch would
likely cache the values of java.io.tmpdir, user.home, environment at
initialization and would not reflect changes that occur after that time.
