I did try to add the APR folder for 'encoding' to the apr-build.xml,
however it was not able to build it because apr_escape.c requires a
(generated) header file that the log4cxx build process does not account for.

Ultimately, it doesn't seem like a good idea to essentially duplicate the
APR build process in order for log4cxx to be built.  The ant build script
must be kept up to date with whatever APR is doing, and there's already a
build procedure for APR.

I have built log4cxx on Windows before, but that was a while ago(it was
also not through Maven, which is what I tried this time).

I spent a bit of time making up a CMakeLists.txt for log4cxx.  It's based
off of the CMake for APR.  It doesn't do everything that the APR one does,
but it does compile and link cleanly(I have not yet created a project to
use the dll):

APR uses CMake for Windows and autotools for Unix-like systems, so adding
in a CMake build for Windows would be consistent with what APR does.
