The java.lang.Runtime object is used to handle such things. However, there
are some caviats:
1) You have to have a full path to the tool.
2) You have to incur the startup and shutdown time for the tool to be executed
outside the VM.
3) You severely limit your scalability by using this approach.
4) You must specifically grant the servlet container and Cocoon to have the
security permissions to execute external programs
5) MOST IMPORTANTLY: if the outside program dies horridly and uncontrollably,
it can kill the JVM!
