Hi.  This patch to commons logging allow you to specify which methods
in the call stack are uninteresting when using the JDK1.4 Logger. In
Tomcat this seems to be all methods named "log" and "internalLog."  This
is based on Costin's idea of uninteresting classes, but seems to work
better for method names (in Tomcat anyway.)

It is something of a back door.  It is primarily for projects that
are in the process of converting to using commons-logging.

Is this an acceptable change to commons-logging ?

Cheers,

P.S. this patch is updated from the one posted to tomcat-dev
