There is going to need to be a lot of refactoring for this. I'm not sure if a 
patch is the right way to go. Neither am I sure what the best way is. Maybe a 
git branch (e.g. on github) with a series of patches? I don't have enough 
experience with the git-svn integration to know if that would be easier or 
harder to deal with.

In terms of what needs to be done:
- the end result needs to be useable by both Jasper and Catalina - that pretty 
much means a new package and JAR under o.a.tomcat
- Jasper cannot depend on Catalina (hence why everything needs to move packages)
- the things that need to move to this new package
   - the web.xml parsing (i.e.the digester)
   - the annotation scanning
   - the SCI scanning
   - the merging
   - the object representation of web.xml
- switch everything over to the new implementation

This is a big change but most of it is just moving stuff around. It isn't 
changing functionality (well it is - JspC would process fragments which it 
doesn't currently for example but all the functional changes would be 
improvements of this nature)

I suggest making a proposal to the dev list. If that gets support, I'd be happy 
to help with this. I suspect in that case a series of svn moves and patches 
would follow.
