There is no need to dynamically allocate File.  You could do:

File file("test.txt");
PropertyConfigurator::configure(file);

or

PropertyConfigurator::configure(File( "test.txt"));

log4j does have a configure(String) method, so it would be reasonable  
to add a configure(const std::string&) and configure(const  
std::wstring&) methods to PropertyConfigurator.
