Synopsis: 
Auto loading jar files from the lib directory

Description:
While reading through the docs I noticed that the jars in 
the \lib directory are auto loaded on Unix systems, but
not on Windows.  I opened the source, changed the ContextManager class and compiled a new version.  I jar'ed the classes and replaced the webserver.jar file with my new one.  Works great.  My questions is...How do I get this change put into the process of being adopted into the general source tree?  Is this change supposed to be somewhere else?  If so, where?

Seems like a feature like this is something that some people enjoy and others do not.  Why not let everybody enjoy it?
