Re: GNUJSP 1.0.1Pre1 bug, or ...?

The problem is that the solution is not that easy.
Using that flag will break automatic changs detection of included 
files. I have an idea how to fix that 
(path building for included files needs other handling than 
path building for the jsp page itself) but didn't get to it.
Also I would like a statement from Wes and Noel before removing
code they explicitly added.
