We need to make fred stable.

If you want to make code stable you write as little code as possible and 
dynamically load only code that you trust.  Servlets are dynamically loaded 
code.

Right now Tavin and I are the only ones writing servlets, but I imagine that
will soon change because they are a powerful way of writing cross platform 
Freenet applications.  If we start down the slippery slope where every 
servlet is loaded into Fred's JVM, we are setting ourselves up for stability 
problems down the road.   

Third party servlets want to be hosted with fproxy, so that you can write 
html that references them without having to know about port numbers.
It seems like the logical thing to do would be to run fproxy externally with 
all third party servlets.  That way if one of them does something horrible 
the node won't be taken down.
