[BeanUtils] BeanComparator enhancement..

[EP...@upstate.com]

Hi all,

I want to be able to query my BeanComparator and get back it's embedded
comparator.  What are peoples thoughts on adding a public method
getComparator() to return the embedded comparator?

Makes sense to me -- I've added this in nightly build 20021203.

On a side note, have you ever run into the situation where you'd like to
use a BeanComparator when the property name in the two beans wasn't the
same?  I'm thinking of a use case like CustomerBean that uses "id" for the
customer's identifier, and OrderBean which uses "customerId" instead.  It
might be interesting to support this sort of thing as well.
