The GSoC student took the money and ran at the mid-term evaluation. I
should have gone with my first instinct which was to fail them at the
mid-term due to lack of effort.

Getting back to this is on my TODO list for Tomcat 9. I plan to remove
the GSoC work and start again from scratch. While that might seem
excessive I simply do not trust the refactoring that Fjodor completed is
secure. It will be quicker to re-do the work myself than it will be to
check the refactoring line by line.
