Re: timezone: TZ not defined!

The timezone handling in log4cxx-0.9.7 was seriously broken (see   
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGCXX-11,http:// 
issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGCXX-15, and  
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGCXX-41).  The current CVS HEAD  
handles it much better and does not touch the TZ environment variable.   
It still need to be brought into synch with recent changes to log4j  
(http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGCXX-49).

In the current log4cxx CVS, you can specify timezone as a property of  
the appender.  In log4j, you can specify an arbitrary timezone as the  
second parameter to a %d format specifier, like:

"%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss}{GMT} - %m%n"

I expect that we will migrate log4cxx to this approach before the long  
awaited 0.9.8 release.
