[logback-user] ServiceLoader-like initialization for logback

[Adam Gent]

For logback I have always wanted to have better control over the automatic
initialization.

That is I wish the automatic init followed something more similar to the
ServiceLoader in Java:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/ServiceLoader.html

That is a resource should be used to point to what code should do the
initialization instead of having to use system properties or hijacking the
already loaded config.
Basically I want the auto configuration to load some Java code before it
does the default which according to the manual is first load
logback.groovy, then logback.xml, etc.

I original asked this question on StackOverflow but after reading the
documentation I think its a missing feature so I decided w/ the mailing
list (apologies for crossposting).
