I could put it in the logback-test.xml file, but that won't change anything as 
only either the logback-test.xml or logback.xml will be used for configuration. 
I'd still need an external mechanism to put a different file in the class path 
based on the environment. I want to use the same code for every environment.

I have added logic to programmatically set up the SocketAppender and add it to 
the root logger if the environment is development. It's working well, just not 
sure this is the best way given my preferences.
