Greg now has this patch ready and Jan has tested it and asked James to
update the Jetty-SNAPSHOT on imbiblio.

So when this is updated, we will need to switch from using the Jetty-4 jar
to using the Jetty-SNAPSHOT.  This will make JSPs work.

The other thing of note, is that I have finally ditched the Jetty logging
mechanism (which to be fair was written in 1996).  Jetty now uses commons
logging, so if you suddenly see a lot more gumpf coming out of your
TRACE and DEBUG - that is as expected and that gumpf was going on anway :-)
