Re: adding functionality to get a list of workflow definitions

Yep, good idea. Just added this to CVS, along with a method in 
AbstractWorkflow to get at the workflow names (since AbstractWorkflow 
is the entry point to all workflows, and end clients shouldn't be 
calling configloader). check it out and let me know if there are any 
issues with it!

Thanks for the suggestion/code!
