I have already added this to Werkz and was necessary to allow the use of
separate contexts during the attainment of goals. There is an
AttainGoalListener when I use to set the context (classloaders, jelly
contexts and whatever else I might need in the future) before a goal is
attained and I pop the context off the stack when it's done.
