I postd a feature request for this:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-20
Dag Christensen was kind enough to write a patch for 1.2.0 beta 8 that
never got applied before 1.2.9 beta came out.
If you have any ideas on this could be accomplished post your comments
to the issue. The dev mailing list automatically receives a copy of
your comment.
