Huh? I can add a category at runtime like
my $log = Log::Log4perl->get_logger('foo.bar.baz');
without having declared foo.bar.baz at init() time.
I think you mean that categories are associated with appenders at init
() time, right? But I'm not looking to create a ton of different
appenders. I'm looking to create a single appender that handles all
categories, and automatically writes to the right filename based on
the category passed to log().
