This solution has the problem that directories no longer need extensions
to be deployable. e.g.

parent.jar/child/WEB-INF/web.xml

makes "child" a valid web application subdeployment.

so If there was also a 

parent.jar/child/WEB-INF/lib/util.jar

it would be wrong to treat util.jar as a subdeployment since it is part of the
war classpath.
