I tried to deploy on Tomcat 6, it worked fine.

I have prototype code that works on Servlet API 3 (Tomcat 7, Jetty 8, etc)  but supporting
Servlet API 3 also means updating my Jetty dependency from 7 to 8.  I know that the
latest Jetty 7 release has a design change which creates problems for GO and I assume
that same change is in 8.

This will be on my TODO list, although I'm not sure if I will be comfortable with having
it ready for the next release (shooting for end of month).  Either way I will update
the documentation to indicate the required Servlet API version (currently 2.5).

I am now building against servlet api 3.0 but still running against Jetty 7 (servlet
api 2.5) and this seems to be working.  Unless I run into complications I would expect
the next release to be ready for Tomcat 7.
