Generation log with commit 274

I have committed a change related to this. I'm not sure it is a fix. As I explained in my email the problem is that DLL registration requires admin privilege, so whatever regardless f what the build does, if the user is not running Visual Studio as an Administrator registration will fail. This is a known issue that is already documented in the development guide, and where a manual solution is documented.

The changes made in commit 275 are:

• log4cxx is copied in the post-build script so that either manual registration as documented in the development guide, or automatic registration as part of a build when running as an administrator, will work
• the post-build script will no longer return an error if registration fails.

There does not seem to be a correct behaviour to address this problem. In the end the developer needs to know whether registration is required - which is very rare - and to know how to do it.

Michel, I am reassigning this to you to close if this change is acceptable or if not to clarify what you expect.

The 2nd sentence should read:

With commit 275, build of all elements goes fine. Mind that I have always used full admin rights when building COLTT so the issue was not insufficient admin rights. I close the ticket. Thanks.
