RE: Issue: remove calls to BasicConfigurator in Options.java and Axis Engine.java

|Maybe the answer is to put a default log4j.properties at the top level of
|the axis.jar file, which we can reasonably expect will be on the classpath.
|The problem then becomes getting your own log4j.properties to override that
|one requires making sure it shows up first on the classpath, which I'm not

For god's sake not the classpath, the context cl maybe

|Thoughts?  I'd love to get this nailed.
