Ok, must be in gitorious or could be in another public place?

It is definitely worth us updating from them; I've looked a couple of times 
and haven't seen any significant reason to merge with what little development 
they've done. It's probably worth another look.

Ok,

IMHO if the log4cpp developers doesn't show any interest I would rename the 
project, clean a bit (all the autotools stuff) the sources and would continue 
as another subproject of toolchain. Then I could package it, independently of 
what the original authors / packagers done.
