Replace log4j with commons-logging - my argument still holds:

Why does Castor need to do *any* logging, commons or otherwise? It's a
library, there's no need for it to *depend* on any logging facilities.
[ In fact, what *would* it log?  I would not like it if a library
wrote to *my* log without my instructing it. ]
