[Webware-devel] Autoreload not working with Cheetah Templates

FYI, an autoreload is not triggered if a .tmpl file is modified. In my
case, the following is true:

1. FAM is not installed so that polling is used
2. The .tmpl file is instantiated within a servlet (containment-style use).
This means that the .tmpl file is never compiled to a .py file that one
might subsequently import.

There's a fix in CVS -- you can now do:

from WebKit.ImportSpy import modloader

modloader.watchFile(templateFilename)

Then the AppServer is restarted if that file changes.  Configurable now
also uses this (so changing your Application.config will restart the
AppServer).
