Contrib doesn't play nice as Spindle can't support all the Tapestry
goodies. Framework is cool as it does not use *any* of those
irritating bits of goodness.

Here is the preliminary list of objections:

1) /org/apache/tapestry/contrib/Contrib.library
uses meta "org.apache.tapestry.component-class-packages"

2) /org/apache/tapestry/contrib/inspector/Inspector.library
uses meta "org.apache.tapestry.component-class-packages"

Even worse, the value for the metas in both libraries is the same!
Which leads us to the next one

3) org/apache/tapestry/contrib/components/DumpObject.jwc
because of #1 & #2 DumpObject crosses namespace boundaries and exists
in both namespaces. bad bad.
Also, DumpObject.jwc does not declare it's class which Spindle
*requires* as DumpObject.java exists.

And that appears to be it. I still need to search for annotations as
it will be a while before annotations are supported.

BTW the list of problems in Framework and Contrib is down to 12, 5 of
which can be attributed to the above.
