Re: freemarker w/ servlets -- access contextRoot

Cool.  So should the community (includes myself) move the
freemarker.ext.servlet stuff into a separate project?  I've already
had to modify the servlet to support an alternate template loader
class, so I think it would be a worthwhile contribution.  Would it
also be worth having the servlet automatically include in the
data-model some of the servlet request properties (just like Request,
Session, Application implicit objects get added)?

Thanks,
David
