Most likely, those dependencies are related to specific appenders,
like, the JDBCAppender, and similar stuff. This could be resolved by
a) Moving those appenders to separately distributable, and
optional, modules, and
b) Enhance the plugin mechanism to detect, and (if necessary)
initialize such modules automatically,
As a result, we could have a core, which behaves just like before, if
those modules are present in the classpath.
