What do you think of this?

We modify TF to allow URLs in the @FINC search path. That way, we
could specify a PAR like so:

   par:file:/path/to/my/archive.par!templates/

That seems consistent with the JAR URL syntax. With this example, any 
includes with relative paths would be checked for under templates/ in 
the PAR.

Alternatively, you could always specify the absolute path directly like 
this:

   $forge->include('par:file/path/to/my/archive.par!/templates/foo.tf');

Then, to allow this to be used with Apache::PAR, you'd add a ForgeINC to 
the web.conf file:

   ForgeINC ##PARFILE##/

Thoughts?
