logger is a category. Thus, all operations that can be performed on a category
can be performed on a logger. Whenever log4j is asked to produce a Category
object, it will instead produce a Logger object. However, methods that
previously accepted category objects still continue to accept category objects.

It is late 2004 now.  It will be interesting to see how far the ripples go, but
changing all references to org.apache.log4j.Category to org.apache.log4j.Logger
should be enough to fix logging-commons, ant and velocity and it is the right
thing to do.

Might be difficult to write a Category that doesn't break some code, so maybe it
should be removed entirely but that would not affect the best course of action
for the affected projects.
