[slf4j-user] Log4j bridge - deprecated functionality

[Mads Pultz]

Hi again,

I checked out the source and build a snapshot and could not get it to work.
I found out that the implementations of the getInstance methods do not match
the signature of the corresponding log4j methods. The should return a
Category object, not a Logger. I will comment the bugzilla report as well.

Regards
M. Hansen
