Well, having to include commons-dbcp is a bit of an implementation
detail, here. I should be able to include only my own JDBC driver and
have Tomcat figure out that commons-dbcp should be available elsewhere
(say, in the lib directory).

That should work even if the WebappClassLoader is being used to
initialize the DataSource, since it will call up the ClassLoader chain
to find classes not available "locally".
