I view this as a PREDETERMINED deployment context where
you pass in the web metadata (it doesn't even need to be a web.xml
file) and the classpath for the servlet  (and its supporting classes).

i.e. it is an adhoc deployment that does not follow the normal structure.

I don't see the need to construct a complicated VFS context
when the simple VDF abstraction can already cope with
"programmatic structure" and can cope with circumstances
where there is no spoon (metadata file). :-)
