Summary: Need Servlet API v3 support

Initial Comment:
Currently, JWebUnit depends on v2.5 of the Java servlet-api.  With many sites switching to Tomcat 7 (which supports and *provides* Servlet V3), JWU's dependency on the old servlet-api causes both versions to be added to the class path, which causes class conflicts which break the app and tests.  Explicitly excluding JWU's dependency on v2.5 in a client POM breaks JWU.

What we really need is a new version of JWebUnit built with the new Servlet API release.  I propose changing the servlet API dependency in JWebUnit's POM to this:

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
    <artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.1</version>
</dependency>

(BTW, note that the artifactId has changed.)

Thanks!!!

Message:
I'm not sure everybody is ready to update so servlet-api 3.0. It would be
better to remove this dependency. This is something I wanted to to for a
long time, but I'm not sure it will be easy. I will check asap.
