Programmatically configure jul to route to log4j2

Hi,

I wonder if it would be possible to programmatically configure jul to route
to log4j2.
It would be useful in case where system properties can not be used to set
the LogManager or the log4j-jul jar cannot be in the classpath at bootstrap.

jul to log4j2 bridge allow a similar configuration:

You can set the system property in your main() method as the first line
which would do the trick.

As for a way to register itself later, I suppose that would be a feature
request: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2
