The `org.apache.log4j.FileAppender` class is useful to inherit from
it. I have successfully tested the `RollingFileAppender` from Apache
Log4j Extras as native Log4j 1.x appender (there is no builder for
this one) running through the bridge.

I don't believe we actually want to use
`org.apache.log4j.FileAppender` instead of
`org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.FileAppender`. I suppose that
the latter gives a better performance.
