## usage
Minimalist version:
var log4js = require('log4js')();
var logger = log4js.getLogger();
logger.debug("Some debug messages");
By default, log4js outputs to stdout with the basic layout, so for the above you would see:
[2010-01-17 11:43:37.987] [DEBUG] [default] - Some debug messages
See example.js:
var log4js = require('log4js')(); //note the need to call the function

## configuration
You can either configure the appenders and log levels manually (as above), or provide a
configuration file (`log4js.configure('path/to/file.json')`). An example file can be found
in test/log4js.json
configuration file (`log4js.configure('path/to/file.json')`) explicitly, or just let log4js look for a file called `log4js.json` (it looks in the current directory first, then the require paths, and finally looks for the default config included in the same directory as the log4js.js file).
