- catch up with latest release 1.7.2
- Maven build extended such that an additional JAR is created in which
SLF4J is bound to the NOOP logger
- experimental deactivation of length limitation if Android platform
above API level 7
* rollback: experimental code for different tag name creation removed
* minor project metadata related changes due to newer ADT plugin
* version set to 1.7.2 in manifest file; marked as library
* Refactoring to get rid of SLF4J's API classes duplicated in this
project. In the past we had to bundle both the API and the logger
binding together in one JAR. This is no longer required these days.
* Maven build extended to produce yet another JAR that contains a NOOP
binding (i.e., where every log request is essentially a noop). The idea
is to use the NOOP binding at production time and allow switching
between the two by means of Maven profiles.
* Upgrade to SLF4J 1.7.2

TODO: yet another upgrade iteration to 1.7.5
