Summary: Replace exolab Logger with commons-logging

Initial Comment:
The org.exolab.core.logger package has always 
been a pain to use, by default logging all output 
under the 'exolab' log category. This makes it 
impossible to filter logs by category, or enable 
partial logging. 
Late last year the enhancement to return a non-
default category was made, but this is not widely 
used. Instead of updating openjms/exolabcore to 
use the category based version, I suggest we toss it 
completely, replacing it with commons-logging 
(http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/logging/index
.html)

Amongst others, this provides pluggability for 
log4j, JDK1.4 logging, LogKit.
