As promised, here's the code, plus docs, build.xml, etc..
http://www.amberarcher.com/apache/tomcat_contrib/tomcat_contrib-0.1.zip
Feedback welcome. I probably won't be able to get up HTML docs to
supplement the text docs in the package until after Xmas. I'll set up the
"tomcat_contrib" project at SourceForge then as well. I hope this
kick-starts people's interest in contributing out-of-scope (but still
very useful) Tomcat modules in an organized fashion, so others can focus
on optimizing the core.
Okay, off to bed.
