[weld-dev] Compiling against JSF 2 API

[Lincoln Baxter, III]

Just so you know, make sure to stay away from the MultiNavigationHandler if
you do this. Using multinavigationhandler will break compatability with
JSF1.2 - and a few of the other new APIs as well (most can be avoided if you
use conditional registration). But anything you need to register in
faces-config.xml will be unavoidably included and may cause ClassDefNotFound
errors and the like.
