Change default log file size to 5MB

Issue #1069 resolved

Hi Petr

Proposal for consideration: change default log file size to 5MB

ie. change <param name="MaxFileSize" value="5000KB" /> in log4j.xml

The current default of 500K is pretty small. 5MB is not a big file by today's standards. I've been setting mine to 5MB for years with no issues - not sure if you may have concerns with other OS's or NAS's though.

If you do proceed, you may also want to consider changing the <param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="5" /> to say 2 or 3. That will give far more coverage than the 5 x 500K currently, while conserving some disk space.

Cheers Mark
