 /**
 Allows the configuration of log4cxx from an external file.  See
 <b>{@link #doConfigure(const File&, log4cxx::spi::LoggerRepositoryPtr&)}</b>
 for the expected format.

 <p>It is sometimes useful to see how log4cxx is reading configuration
 files. You can enable log4cxx internal logging by defining the
 <b>log4j.debug</b> variable.

 <P>At class initialization time class,
 the file <b>log4j.properties</b> will be searched in the current directory.
 If the file can be found, then it will
 be fed to the
 {@link PropertyConfigurator#configure(const File& configFilename)}
 method.

 <p>The <code>PropertyConfigurator</code> does not handle the
 advanced configuration features supported by the {@link
 xml::DOMConfigurator DOMConfigurator} such as
 support for {@link spi::Filter Filters}, custom
 {@link spi::ErrorHandler ErrorHandlers}, nested
 appenders such as the {@link AsyncAppender
 AsyncAppender}, etc.

 <p>All option <em>values</em> admit variable substitution. The
 syntax of variable substitution is similar to that of Unix
 shells. The string between an opening <b>&quot;${&quot;</b> and
 closing <b>&quot;}&quot;</b> is interpreted as a key. The value of
 the substituted variable can be defined as a system property or in
 the configuration file itself. The value of the key is first
 searched in the system properties, and if not found there, it is
 then searched in the configuration file being parsed.  The
 corresponding value replaces the ${variableName} sequence. For
 example, if <code>java.home</code> system property is set to
 <code>/home/xyz</code>, then every occurrence of the sequence
 <code>${java.home}</code> will be interpreted as
 <code>/home/xyz</code>.

 		Read configuration from a file. <b>The existing configuration is
 		not cleared nor reset.</b> If you require a different behavior,
 		then call {@link LogManager#resetConfiguration
 		resetConfiguration} method before calling
 		<code>doConfigure</code>.

 		<p>The configuration file consists of statements in the format
 		<code>key=value</code>. The syntax of different configuration
 		elements are discussed below.

 		<h3>Repository-wide threshold</h3>

 		<p>The repository-wide threshold filters logging requests by level
 		regardless of logger. The syntax is:

 		<pre>
 		log4j.threshold=[level]
 		</pre>

 		<p>The level value can consist of the string values OFF, FATAL,
 		ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG, ALL or a <em>custom level</em> value. A
 		custom level value can be specified in the form
 		level#classname. By default the repository-wide threshold is set
 		to the lowest possible value, namely the level <code>ALL</code>.
 		</p>


 		<h3>Appender configuration</h3>

 		<p>Appender configuration syntax is:
 		<pre>
 		# For appender named <i>appenderName</i>, set its class.
 		# Note: The appender name can contain dots.
 		log4j.appender.appenderName=fully.qualified.name.of.appender.class

 		# Set appender specific options.
 		log4j.appender.appenderName.option1=value1
 		...
 		log4j.appender.appenderName.optionN=valueN
 		</pre>

 		For each named appender you can configure its {@link Layout Layout}. The
 		syntax for configuring an appender's layout is:
 		<pre>
 		log4j.appender.appenderName.layout=fully.qualified.name.of.layout.class
 		log4j.appender.appenderName.layout.option1=value1
 		....
 		log4j.appender.appenderName.layout.optionN=valueN
 		</pre>

 		<h3>Configuring loggers</h3>

 		<p>The syntax for configuring the root logger is:
 		<pre>
 		log4j.rootLogger=[level], appenderName, appenderName, ...
 		</pre>

 		<p>This syntax means that an optional <em>level</em> can be
 		supplied followed by appender names separated by commas.

 		<p>The level value can consist of the string values OFF, FATAL,
 		ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG, ALL or a <em>custom level</em> value. A
 		custom level value can be specified in the form
 		<code>level#classname</code>.

 		<p>If a level value is specified, then the root level is set
 		to the corresponding level.  If no level value is specified,
 		then the root level remains untouched.

 		<p>The root logger can be assigned multiple appenders.

 		<p>Each <i>appenderName</i> (separated by commas) will be added to
 		the root logger. The named appender is defined using the
 		appender syntax defined above.

 		<p>For non-root categories the syntax is almost the same:
 		<pre>
 		log4j.logger.logger_name=[level|INHERITED|NULL], appenderName, appenderName,
 		...
 		</pre>

 		<p>The meaning of the optional level value is discussed above
 		in relation to the root logger. In addition however, the value
 		INHERITED can be specified meaning that the named logger should
 		inherit its level from the logger hierarchy.

 		<p>If no level value is supplied, then the level of the
 		named logger remains untouched.

 		<p>By default categories inherit their level from the
 		hierarchy. However, if you set the level of a logger and later
 		decide that that logger should inherit its level, then you should
 		specify INHERITED as the value for the level value. NULL is a
 		synonym for INHERITED.

 		<p>Similar to the root logger syntax, each <i>appenderName</i>
 		(separated by commas) will be attached to the named logger.

 		<p>See the <a href="Introduction.html#additivity">appender
 		additivity rule</a> in the user manual for the meaning of the
 		<code>additivity</code> flag.

 		<h3>Logger Factories</h3>

 		The usage of custom logger factories is discouraged and no longer
 		documented.

 		<h3>Example</h3>

 		<p>An example configuration is given below. Other configuration
 		file examples are given in the <code>examples</code> folder.
