Description

While searching for instructions on how to configure the SimpleLog that
comes with commons logging, the only reference to SimpleLog is found at
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/logging/commons-logging-1.0.4/docs/guide.html#Configuration,
however this link is broken.

So far it's taken an entire afternoon of googling for information on how to
switch logging on using commons-logging, without any success.

There needs to be some simple documentation included to get the user from
nowhere to a basic somewhere in a reasonable number of steps.
