Yeah, that's another way to do it. I'd only be concerned about how
over-flexible that approach is for this usage, and whether or not it
would be a burden to use -- would you have to add half a dozen -D
options, or go edit a properties file? I kind of like being able to
specify a simple comma-delineated list of components to log into one
property.

Also, what would the performance impact be if we used trees of loggers,
and not a simple filter with a bit set?
