Hello,

I have used log4cxx for a number of years and the last official release was
7 years ago.  There was an effort to make a 0.11.x release in October but I
don't see the result of that, plus it looks like all Windows based build
projects and tools have been removed from the trunk.  There are a number of
web sites / projects out there to help people build log4cxx, apr, and
apr-util on Windows.  It seems to be a second-class citizen.

I spent yesterday making a cmake build environment for log4cxx that builds
against the libapr-2 trunk on Windows.  Since apr provides its own cmake
environment, this simply picks up the installed artifacts and builds
log4cxx on Windows.  In the process I have found that although static
linking seems to build okay, shared libraries are missing some
LOG4CXX_EXPORT commands.

I was able to build on linux against the apr-2 trunk as well by telling it
that "--with-apr" and "--with-apr-util" come from the same location, since
apr-util merged into apr.

I see no quality controls on pull requests, leveraging the free travis and
appveyor CI environments to ensure pull requests are of high quality.  So
my question is this - what is the state of this project?  Is it dead?  Are
there people actively using it and working on it?

Thanks,

Jim
