[MonoDevelop] log4net logging service

[John Luke]

Hello,
Is the changelog basically:
add the LoggingServices, and replace use of Console.WriteLine with it?

Having not used log4net I suppose it prints it all to stdout, but
allows you to configure verbosity? Can it be set to quiet by default
or to a lastlog type file? Looks basically ok to me.
