Ryan,
    Thanks for your use of Debian.  As long as the .dll could be built
from F/OSS tools and had no licensing restrictions that violated the
DFSG, I don't think it would be a Debian Policy issue.  It's really more
of a feasibility issue; the idea of using log4j packaged by Debian to
write to an NT Event log doesn't particularly sound like a reasonable
use case.  Can you explain why you wish to have Debian's package of
log4j include a Windows(TM) .dll?  Perhaps we are missing a point here.

Regards,
