Hi Elijah,
it sounds a great interesting contribution, I haven't seen [chain]
development activity lately so I eventually volunteer to apply the
patch. Thanks in advance for your effort, [chain] if one of the
components that need new energy.

Two recommendations:

 * we are updating components code to more recent JVM specs, please
try to keep 1.5 as target as much as possible. take the [digester] pom
(is the one I know more) as a good sample where starting from
 * please don't migrate to slf4j. here at commons we continue using
commons-logging

Hope that helps and count on me if you need more infos - feel free to
contact me even directly for trivial questions, better anyway
discussing on public MLs.

A minor note: [collections] will get a new life soon ;)
Have a nice day, all the best!
Simo
