[logback-user] where to place logback.xml?

[Ceki Gulcu]

Hi Rolf,

Logback will reload logback.xml if detects that the file has changed. 
Configuration files can be included [1] and change detection applies to 
included files as well.

You can instruct the user to create/modify the included config file.

Let us know if it works for you.
