Currently, RootLogger overwrites outputters= and disallows any outputters being appended to it. This means that you
cannot configure a "global" outputter for all loggers used in the system.

Which would be very convenient if you could to that...

I'm sorry, I spoke too soon. Here is a workaround that actually
works (around):
Log4r::Logger.root.outputters << Log4r::Outputter.stdout
class Log4r::RootLogger
  def is_root?; false; end
end
Log4r::Logger::LoggerFactory.define_methods(Log4r::Logger.root)

Here's a workaround. Before any other loggers get defined, run
this:
Log4r::Logger.root.outputters << Log4r::Outputter.stdout
Log4r::Logger::LogFactory.toggle_methods(Log4r::Logger.root.level,
Log4r::Logger.root)

(Replace the outputter in the first line to output to wherever
you want.)

A very big +1. It seems like Log4r, unlike Log4j, missed the
whole point of having a hierarchical logging system.
