I'd rather not put it in init() since it's not a Turbine specific thing.

I prefer this over the previous alternative as well although I don't like
adding non-Turbine stuff to TurbineResources.properties.

Since it's just an extra constructor it wouldn't have any effect on JServ
and since we are already requiring turbine.jar be placed before
ApacheJServ.jar in the classpath (as per the install doc or is this no

If you don't want to change EP then I'll just use the above approach.
