+        A utility class for initializing the basic behaviour of the
+        default logging hierarchy.
+
+        PropertyConfigurator parses a much simplified version of the 
+        property file. tango.log only supports the settings of Logger 
+        levels at this time; setup of Appenders and Layouts are currently 
+        done "in the code"

+                Add a default StdioAppender, with a SimpleTimerLayout, to 
+                the root node. The activity levels of all nodes are set
+                via a property file with name=value pairs specified in the
+                following format:
+
+                    name: the actual logger name, in dot notation
+                          format. The name "root" is reserved to
+                          match the root logger node.
+
+                   value: one of TRACE, INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL
+                          or NONE (or the lowercase equivalents).
+
+                For example, the declaration
+
+                ---
+                tango.unittest = INFO
+                myApp.SocketActivity = TRACE
