There was indeed a change made recently related to the current iteration
index. However, the change made the index available only to nested custom
tags. It was not exposed as a scripting variable, nor was it made accessable
through any other Struts tag, as far as I can determine.
It seems to me that exposing the index as a scripting variable, named by an
attribute of either the iterate tag or a new iterateIndex tag, would be a
useful thing. I might even write this if other people think it would be
useful...
