AW: Maintaing local customizations via Maven2

[Smith, Matt]

Scott-

Moving the casAuthoritiesPopulator definition into
deployerConfigContext.xml is a definite win.  Moving the inMemoryDaoImpl
userMap definition may help, but since it shouldn't be used in
production (JdbcDaoImpl or an eventual JndiDaoImpl should be used IMHO),
it may not be worth it.

I'm not familiar in the slightest with Spring WebFlow, so how would a
ViewResolver determine which view is the right view, if multiple views
are available? "default" and "simple" may still be included, depending
on how the Maven dependencies are handled.  I think a
"viewName" ("basename") and "defaultThemeName" in cas.properties would
be great.

Other opinions?
