Sounds interesting, however note that 'getRealPath("")' is used to
determine the application root, which is then used in lots of places
(including everywhere that calls Turbine.getRealPath(...)) so getting
turbine to work from a WAR may require more than just that change.
However I'm amicable to making the change, does anybody have a good
reason not to? Obviously this would mean certain defaults (logging to
the application root) would not work when using a WAR.
