Maybe we can build a "light" version of log4j without the classes that 
require Swing for main?

The license problems are not yet solved. I think we should not build 
packages in contrib with GPL'ed core classes. :-(

Another solution might be to spilt the source packages into lib*-java in 
main and lib*-java-doc in contrib. The number of binary packages would 
stay the same so the result for the users will not change, except for 
some more packages in main.
