[slf4j-dev] Rearranging classes

[Eric Crahen]

Please do, I really believe the ServiceLoader mechanism is a lot less hacky
than the static binding thing happening now.

The ClassLoader problems you had with the JCL are completely different and
do not exist with this solution (and those JCL issues don't mean using
ClassLoaders is always a bad thing either ;).
