    # Log4r creates the logging methods dynamically - quite cleverly creating
    # only those methods that are required, but not that transparent. 
    #
    # To add filter support we 'monkey patch' the original implementation of
    # +define_log+ in 'outputterfactory.rb' by adding in the filter call.
    # This slows down the run time, but that is not so important.
    #
