This is a conversion of the [log4js](http://log4js.berlios.de/index.html)
framework to work with [node](http://nodejs.org). I've mainly stripped out the browser-specific code
and tidied up some of the javascript. It includes a basic file logger, with log rolling based on file size.
NOTE: since v0.2.0 require('log4js') returns a function, so you need to call that function in your code before you can use it. I've done this to make testing easier (allows dependency injection).
NOTE: I have disabled the console.log replacement which appeared in earlier versions, as console.log does some fancy formatting of output that log4js cannot handle. I don't want log4js breaking people's code mysteriously.
