Exactly this is the point. This issue really hurts. Has someone already pointed
this out on the log4j mailing list. I am not sure if they see this issue so
clearly, do they?

In the end I have to agree that there is no clean and easy way to support both
log4j 1.2 and 1.3 in one logger. There is a way though, but nobody will want it.
Additionally the Log4J12Logger has to be compiled against log4j-1.2 and
Log4J13Logger has to be compiled againts log4j-1.3 but both go to the same jar.
This issue could not even be handled with m2 (maven2).
