Hi Anthony,

The compiled code would still need groovy-all.jar on the classpath wouldn't it?

> Configuring LogBack using an internal DSL with Groovy is a clever idea.
> Rather than including logback.groovy in the classpath and requiring a 5.5 MB groovy-all dependency to load and interpret it, why not offer a way that logback.groovy could be compiled at compile time.  Then, instead of interpreting logback.groovy using a GroovyShell, why not simply run a method from an already compiled class.
> This strategy has the advantage of discovering many configuration problems (like typos) at compile-time rather than run-time.
