  I invite you to create your own class loader(s) such
as PropertyChromeResourceLoader or whatever you want
to name it and then pack/zip it up with an example or
two and a short readme and I will add it to the Luxor
contrib site. Or if you want you can add it yourself.

  Using system properties to configure the chrome
loaders is on my todo list. For more ideas check out
the Velocity Developer's Guide section 12 entitled 
"Configuring Resource Loaders" online at
http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/developer-guide.html#Configuring%20Resource%20Loaders

  Thanks for your bug fixes and code clean-up. I will
have a look at it and merge/add it to the upcoming
Beta Refresh. Note, however, that I won't add the
system property configuration yet. Please, create a
new chrome loader instead.
