Arggh.  Good catch.  In this version handleFlawedDiscovery always throws a
LogConfigurationException, but still discoverLogImplementation shouldn't count
on that fact.

+1.

I don't like that stuff in here either, and your static initializer idea removes
any remote justification for it.

Haven't thought carefully but this could perhaps be handled with a simple "if
(logConstructor == null)" test around the code that sets instance variables.  I
too would prefer to see the isXXXAvailable methods go, even more so now that
you've pointed out the can have side effects.

Yes.  Will fix.

Thanks for the careful review.
