The philosophy of commons-logging was, and always has been, to wrap only the
actual logging calls -- not the lifecycle or configuration of the underlying
logging implementation.  That was left to the application itself.  In your
particular scenario, you could have left the Log4J configuration screens in
place, but only allowed them to be accessed when Log4J is available.  Likewise,
it would be straightforward to build similar screens for JDK 1.4 logging (if
available), or any other logging implementation you want to support.

Going down the path of adding more and more functionality to commons-logging
would lead, ultimately, to writing a complete logging implementation.  That
would be a waste of time, when perfectly good implementations exist already. 
Instead, commons-logging should stay narrowly focused on abstracting just the
logging calls themselves.
