yuck. no absolute paths. I want ppl to be able to use Scarab without having
to edit properties files to get things working on their boxes.

I don't want to screw up others ROOT directories.

This doesn't work. I get that "Turbine isn't a servlet" error.
Any other ideas on solving this problem? What do others do? Is there
something I can define in my web.xml? I'm sorry, but my knowledge of web.xml

I added better documentation to the README.txt file for now.

Thanks. That is why I feel it is so important to have a working sandbox that
is easy for people to get up and running quickly with.
