The reason FarCry depends on unique mappings is because it uses CFIMPORT.
You can't use a variable as part of the path to a tag library with CFIMPORT for various good reasons that I won't go into here.
Back when the idea of making FarCry open source was being floated this was one of the issues that I tried hard to find a solution to. The only solution that would have worked was to replace every use of a taglib with a call to CFMODULE. Since there were an awful lot of tags used in this way it was felt that on balance the restriction of requiring a /farcry mapping was an acceptable one compared to the amount of work required to recode the majority of the admin area. Not to mention the increased difficulty of maintaining code where the tag being called was not immediately obvious from the first few characters of the tag name.
Hope that clears it up a bit.

Relax. My new system ($1,400 for the "box" only) should be sufficient. And why FarCry depends on unique mappings is beyond me.

I agree with you about Blue Dragon Peter, but I'm sure Daemon didn't create this list as a spitting contest between ColdFusion MX and BlueDragon.
So far you have made references to the fact that you could not get FarCry working and have been asked by several people on the list to be specific about what issues you are having all to no avail.
If you are here to get help you will have to meet us half way by giving us some information so we can get you up and running.
I know how frustrating it can be when software doesn't do what it says it should and when everyone else is harping on about how great it is, but it will get going a lot faster if you can be clear and specific about what your configuration is, what is going wrong, and when it is going wrong.

Well you have indeed slagged off both Blue Dragon and its users. Have you actually used BD? The system requirements are much more lenient than MX6.1 without the bells and whistles.
Additionally the BD service actually STARTS without tweaking the service
at
all. No CFX support - OK, no CFC support - not yet - but it works when
MX6.1
must be cooerced.

Thanks Geoff,
This was indeed what I was gearing toward without offending our BD users
;-)
Bludedragon is a poor mans CF-parser and indeed it does not 100% represent the the CF5 engine. It supports no CFMX tags which FarCry uses AFAIK...so as you said : no support and even if it does support them, it will
probably
be missing something.
