Basically if/when we had split the backends we'd had provided a backends
symlinks pointing either to log4j, jvm or build-in (with automated
priorities). This symlink would have been added to all the logging users
classpaths/jer directories
 
So we would have insured there was always a backend on the system,
without duplicating classes.

The current solution will be the death of log4j since no one will take
the pain to put it manually in the classpath (as it would have, if the
split had proceeded)
