OK, so unless there is a big objection, I am going to go forward with the
official 1.2.13 release tomorrow evening.
Ideally we should have build instructions for the dll or some compiled and
compatible dll binary, but I don't think this is any kind of blocker. Stop
me if you disagree.

Erg. The dll is not checked into svn (or the old cvs repository

Didn't we make a conscious decision to remove the .dll from the
distribution/repository? Folks are supposed to build it for themselves
for some reason?
I think it likely had to do with the use of a dynamicly-linked C RTL
which requires a library from the corresponding compiler to work.
Ideally, you could build the NTEventLogAppender.dll with MinGW and and
would be able to build the product with free tools. Don't recall
participating in any decision like that, but seems reasonable to me.
There is a log4cxx bug regarding an incompatibility between the
NTEventLogAppender.dll from log4j and log4cxx that I have not had a
chance to research. At this time, I do not think that there is a quick
solution and it is not a bug introduced in this version. Got to save
something for 1.2.14 :)
