Corrected build of log4cxx by re-building the tarball used

When building the log4cxx tarball from its Git history, I noticed that
files with very long names are not packaged by tar (because by default
Automake uses the ancient v7 tar format that only supports file names less
than 99 characters).

So I build the tarball with the `tar-ustar' option to Automake (by
modifying the log4cxx source) and the resulting tarball was able to compile
and run successfully. This has been described above the rule to build
log4cxx and I also sent an email to their developing mailing list to inform
them of this problem. If they address it, I will remove the note on the
necessary corrections.

+#  - Update the final name of the tarball and its version (from `git
+#  - describe') by modifying the `AC_INIT' line:
+#        AC_INIT([apachelog4cxx], [0.10.0-603-014954db])
+#  - Because of the long file names in the project, some files will not be
+#    packaged by default, so pass the `tar-ustar' option to Automake (the
+#    `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE' line of `configure.ac':
+#        AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE([foreign subdir-objects -Wall tar-ustar])

+# You can then simply bootstrap the project and make the distribution

+#        ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make -j8 && make dist-lzip
+#
+# Unfortunately we have to re-run the `autogen.sh' script on the tarball to
+# build it because it will complain about the version of libtool, so until
+# the version 0.11.0 of log4cxx, we'll have to run `autogen.sh' on the
+# unpacked source also.
