Assuming you are using 0.8 (it's somewhat different in CVS), you must
set ExtraPathInfo to 1 in Application.config.  Then any servlet can have
extra stuff after it in the URL, accessible with
request.extraURLPath().  In a directory you can have a Main servlet that
will be a catch-all, so if to access /WK/whatever, and there's no
"whatever" servlet, but there is a Main, then Main will be called with
"/whatever" as the extraURLPath.
