am i right in guessing that $(java-config -p commons-logging} would be
intended to allow JCL alternatives to be specified (perhaps though
USE) ...?

if this is the case then care needs to be taken and changes may be
required elsewhere. the api is safely substitutable by an alternative
API implementation (for example, the JCL->slf4j bridge) but not by the
full commons-logging jar.
