I can modify it. It is not dificult.
But the main idea was not to run it for every page but to run it only once,
when the page is been loaded to be compiled. That way it would save
proccessing time. To put it as a tag library was an idea that came later so
everyone could use it. (inside the cache tag is more powerfull).
Anyway, it can run stand alone.

A better way to write this would be as a Servlet API 2.3 filter (assuming
they can work on an output stream...i forget...).
