So lets do it and consolidate all of the configuration automation into
Convention.  We can get the new Convention and REST in 2.1.3-SNAPSHOT and
then update the Codebehind page that its being absorbed into Convention.  

I say the new version of Convention doesn't have to support Codebehind if
its going to hold back the Convention code base.  We are at a sensitive and
early spot where we want to pick a winner and run with it.  If people don't
want to "upgrade" they can run their apps with Codebehind or make the
changes needed for Convention.

The only feature I think really needs to be in Convention is that it looks
for default results in [base path config]/action-name/result-name.jsp.  At
least we can make the "separator" (- or /) configurable between the action
name and result.
