Good point - but we can't do that really, I think we do need to use  
ServletBroker and that WM ctor is not going to work for us is it.

If you remember, I had to add new methods to the servlet brokers in  
WM 2.0 to pave the way for the JSP taglib, because the ServletContext  
is not known until the taglib is invoked, which is an arbitrary time  
after the taglib object is intantiated.

So we need some syncing I believe.
