Hi Jake,

The slf4j-api serves two purposes. First, it greatly simplifies the project 
build structure which is now much simpler that what it used to be when we 
had an all-including (single) jar per binding. Just as importantly, we 
would like to be OSGi friendly, and as I understand it, it is better to 
have a separation into two jars instead of just one.
