[Seaside] How to associate a new WAApplication to a component?

[Ken Treis]

Hi Stef,

I think the FAQ may be a little out of date. Older versions of Seaside  
let you specify the application class in the config application, but  
in Seaside 2.8 it's hard-coded (as you found). As far as I know,  
overriding #applicationNamed: is the only way to do this for now.
