Steve--

  Personally, I think that the Controls Tutorial will be more
descriptive if it focuses solely on the end-to-end process of writing
a Control.  For example:

- authoring the Control's source artifacts
- building the Control
- packaging the Control into a JAR file
- authoring a JUnit test for the Control
- testing the Control

Today, most of the Controls Tutorial is about how to setup, build, and
deploy a NetUI-enabled web application.  While we should certainly
have examples and documentation about how to use a Control from a Page
Flow, it's probably more interesting to focus on the end-to-end cycle
of building a Control JAR file.

  Note, this requires that I (finally!) commit the JUnit test
container for Controls.  Believe it or not, I've got that "svn add"ed
locally and should have that done soon.  Then, it's just a matter of
rewriting the tutorial.

  Thoughts?
