After thinking about this overnight, it occurred to me that uv3 could simply
conform to what's been out there already in uimaFIT, while adding some marker
support.

This would preserve backwards compatibility with users of uimaFIT.

Therefore, I plan to change the uv3 level mapping to:

SEVERE  <-> ERROR
WARNING <-> WARN
INFO    <-> INFO
CONFIG  <-> INFO   (distingushed by a marker, UIMA_MARKER_CONFIG)
*FINE    <-> TRACE  
*FINER   <-> DEBUG  
*FINEST  <-> DEBUG  (distingushed by a marker, UIMA_MARKER_DEBUG) 

This will match what uimaFIT does, while still allowing support for CONFIG and 
FINEST via markers.
