if i understand correctly, this is how it goes:

i have a directory named 'web' with a tree of directories containing html and 
css files. the html files link to the css files by relative paths 
(../include/some.css)
the servlet is on the url pattern /pages/* the directory is mounted under 
pages/plugins/foo

this means, that if i have a page at pages/plugins/foo/somedir/page.html, and 
it references its css as the above, then the full path should be 
pages/plugins/foo/include/some.css. however, the prepender will take the 
application's context path (/pages), and prepend it to the relative url, thus 
getting /pages/../include/some.css, which doesn't point to the right place. 

i think the prepender should use the mount path (ages/plugins/foo) for absolute 
urls and the page's path (pages/plugins/foo/somedir/) for relative urls
