revisiting servlet-api

Hi,

I'd like to revisit our decision to target servlet-api 2.4.

One of the obstacles to installing and running shindig centers around
getting all the paths correct.  If we move to servlet-api 2.5 we can use
getContextPath() to determine where the app is currently running.

This should help to reduce the amount of boilerplate config code that needs
to change.

Obviously the downside is that this means that we cannot support servlet
containers that use the older specification (such as tomcat 5.5.)

Thoughts?
