        cd apache-log4cxx-0.10.0

    if ! pacman -Q log4cxx; then yaourt -S log4cxx; fi

  gentoo: ">=dev-libs/log4cxx-0.10"

New version

If a new version of ubuntu came out(such as 9.10). To add support for 9.10 you would insert

    9.10: liblog4cxx10-dev

into the ubuntu section.

Completely new OS

To add Mint Linux support you could add

  mint: liblog4cxx10-dev

assuming this is the correct package in mint.
