Sorry, I had been under the original impression that Tomcat couldn't do
static pages or serverd them very inefficiently.  I stand corrected.
Running CGI via a servlet sounds dreadfully slow, though, especially if it
has to do something like start up a Perl interpreter, unless someone
creates mod_jperl or something. :-)
