I am hoping we can get it into the sandbox soon.  I can also put up a 
jar at a URL you can snarf later today.

No problem...it was nice to dig into the internals of Spring...anyway we 
need this badly as we are about to start a major Portlet dev cycle for 
myRutgers.

The MVC architecture is essentially the same and the Portlet API 
somewhat mirrors the Servlet API.  However there are enough differences 
that made it necessary to have the seperate package.

It is a testament to the Spring architecture that every time there was 
dependancy outside of o.s.w.servlet.* I could reuse that code without 
any modification.
