*sigh* it just had to be something simple, didn't it?  Even right in front
of me with the
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/class-loader-howto.html page that
someone suggested earlier.  I put freemarker in the tomcat/shared/lib
directory and all is well.  I am having serious issues grasping this
classloader thing, apparently   =)

Thanks for the help, all!
