An alternative is to use the 'no discovery, no plugins, no layers'
implementation of commons-logging
that we have in sandbox :-) - which just implements the commons-logging APIs
hardcoding everything to java.util.logging. People who want log4j or another
logger can replace
the jar with the 'official' discovery-based implementation if they need it.

There are a lot of benefits of having a logger with discovery and a
mini-logger if no real logger is found, but
for tomcat we know java.util will be found, and it avoids a lot of problems
to just use the hardcoded one.
