Bug#342058: liblog4j1.2-java: NTEventLogAppender.dll not included

[Ryan Nowakowski]

The dll is required for some log4j functionality, specifically logging
to Windows Event Log.  In the past, the log4j developers have forgotten
to build this dll when packaging binary releases.  I thought that might
be the case here.  If it is part of Debian Policy[tm] to not package it,
that's fine.
