Bug#342058: liblog4j1.2-java: NTEventLogAppender.dll not included

[Ryan Nowakowski]

We're using Debian as a java development/build platform.  Our customers
plan to deploy on Windows and redirect the logs to the Event Log.
It's not that important to me if it's not in the Debian package.  I can
just download that dll separately.
