V3 of the servlet spec should include the ability to add servlet and filter
mappings on the fly.

The main thing I don't like about it is the huge security hole it creates.
I'd much rather get rid of it completely (and the various bits of "check if
we are using the invoker here" code).

CGI, SSI and WebDAV should all be safe to package as separate jars. I'm not
in any great rush to make this change. If they get moved as part of your
refactoring - fine. If not, I'll get around to it at some point.
