The disadvantage is that it's harder to filter xwiki specific logs. Stdout
is usually more verbose and might also contains logs from other deployed
apps.

Hi devs,
I'd like to propose removing the log to xwiki.log by default in our
log4j.properties file.
The rationale is:
* This is causing problems with a lot of users since by default we log in
the current directory and there are lots of cases when users start xwiki
from a directory where you don't have correct permissions
* We don't control where xwiki.log is created
Proposal:
* We only log to stdout:
** tomcat is already configured to capture stdout/stderr and to redirect
them to catalina.out
** I have a modification ready for Jetty to do the same, here it is in case
you want to see it:
<!-- =========================================================== -->
<!-- Redirect stdout & stderr to a log file -->
<!-- =========================================================== -->

WDYT?
