(Note: version should be 1.7.x, which is unavailable in Bugzilla)

Recent 1.7.x versions of SLF4J inadvertently broke the ability to turn off a given logger (in SimpleLogger module). This following pull request fixes this, as well as the following minor points:

Bug fixes
=========

• regression: restore ability to completely turn off logging for a given logger (level "off")

• bug fix: force output file (if any) to UTF-8 to avoid platform-dependent surprises while logging to a file

Enhancements
============

• Java 5 syntax (less Eclipse warnings)

• update documentation (including example simplelogger.properties file which was out of sync with recent 1.7.[1-2] changes)

• add SimpleLoggerAccess class to enable to change SimpleLogger logger levels at runtime (used e.g. in a monitoring utility)

You will find all of those in pull request 28:

Thanks!
