Description

SLF4J allows far more flexible logging than log4j, and it would allow us to get rid of these dumb log4j compatibility problems that sometimes occur. It also plays better with other applications, gives the user more power to choose how to log his stuff, and is also pretty cool otherwise. The change would be relatively trivial, and would probably be largely invisible to the users (since we could continue shipping with necessary log4j jars).

The license is MIT/X11, so that's fine.

Opinions?
