Misleading warning: result of incorrect code in ConsoleLogger

           Summary: Misleading warning: result of incorrect code in
                    ConsoleLogger
           Product: Log4j
           Version: 1.2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Appender
        AssignedTo: log4j-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: z5h@hotmail.com


I have not used log4j, I was just looking through the source code and spotted this minor detail. So 
don't take my word for it, I assume you'll double check.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Creating a 
ConsoleLogger with a target of "System.err" sets the target properly. 
(target="System.err";)
2. Then calling setTarget with a bogus value results in targetWarn 
being called which informs the user that "System.out" will be used as a default (when really 
System.err has been set successfully in the previous operation).

Fix:
#Line 80
<< 
LogLog.warn("Using System.out (default).");
>> LogLog.warn("Using " + target + " (set 
previously).");
