libxml2 and MSXML are used by the current implementation of  
DOMConfigurator.  expat is used by APR-util, but not currently by  
log4cxx.  The goal is to port log4j's JoranConfigurator which  
replaces DOMConfigurator and to have it use expat through apr-util  
and drop the current DOMConfigurator and its dependencies on libxml2  
and MSXML.  This issue was logged as LOGCXX-35 (http:// 
issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGCXX-35)
