[logback-user] How to log FROM an appender?

[ralph.goers @dslextreme.com]

Actually, recursion isn't really a problem and is pretty easy to handle.
 The problem is that you are in the middle of configuring your logging
system and trying to log, so what is supposed to happen to the log event?
The components to process it aren't fully in place yet.  Ceki handles that
by detecting the attempt to create the logger and generating a nastygram.
