You're right, the ant tag to import properties is a well known and approved way to customize an existing XML script without having to know it's internals. Similar functionnality in log4j.xml should be great ! Perhaps an (optional) reuse of ant code could do the job ?

This remind me what ANT does with the Property task.
http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/property.html
You can import a java property file at runtime. Great for per-developer
properties such as login/pw for DB...
What do you thing about a way to setup variable substitution from
something else that system variables ? Something like :
<log4j:configuration>
   <!-- imports properties from a property file -->
   <variables properties="file://my.properties"/>
   <!-- imports properties from a property file using default system
variable substritution -->
   <variables properties="file://${home.properties}/my.properties"/>
...
