Remove Commons-logging from CLI's pom.xml
-----------------------------------------

                 Key: CLI-128
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-128
             Project: Commons CLI
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.0
         Environment: N/A
            Reporter: Andy Gerweck
            Priority: Minor


A search of the code in commons-cli 1.0 shows that CLI (rightly) doesn't do any 
logging, but just raises exceptions when things go wrong. However, the pom.xml 
states that commons-logging is a dependency, which isn't true. Instead of 
making users manually exclude commons-logging, it should be removed from the 
pom.xml. 

I hope that future versions will continue to be free from logging, as it's 
completely unnecessary for such a simple and elegant library. There's just no 
reason that a simple argument parser should ever need to log its status, except 
perhaps while fixing a bug--but those statements would be unlikely to be useful 
again and are better removed.
