JSP-servlet cache is not deleted

I just read this bug, and it seems that there is a simple solution. The notion
of doing checksums is calculationally intensive, and therefore unacceptable, but
you don't need a check sum. All you need is the date on the JSP file. Store it
in a file called foo.class.jspdate and compare that date to the one on the JSP..
if it differs + or - recompile. One might even be able to add this information
directly into the generated .java (and thus .class) file as a constant int where
it can be checked without another file access.

If the extra file access solution needs to be turned off for production make
this check only happen if tomcat is started with soemthing like a -devel flag or
somesuch.
