WAKom new was correct when Stephen wrote that readme, WAKom has changed
since (to more flexibly support Kom 6.1).  You'll notice WAKom
class>>entryPoint:path:, which lets you wrap any Component with a
Comanche module; this lets you use Comanche to define your url namespace,
rather than the default WADispatcher + /config app.

Thanks.  This has been integrated and committed.  The only significant
change I made was to rename #encodeChar: to #encodeCharacter: (I generally
dislike abbreviations).

This is very interesting, but I don't think I'm ready to integrate it
yet.  It seems to me a very specialized need, and the implementation
(altering the rendering stack) is necessarily a bit messy.
I'm open to being convinced, however.

Cheers,
