This would be cleaner as it is now : Log code would be pluggable.

Tomcat 4.x seems to be quite stable now and has much better performances
than older so I think it is not a big problem to make it a prerequisite,
considering that only few people seems to use Tomcat 3.x.
But are latest stable versions of other servlet containers (JBoss,
Weblogic) implementing Servlet API 2.3 ?
