[Red5] Config/lib changes needed for Spring with red5-0.8.0/tomcat?

[Mondain]

The classloader scheme is way more complicated than I would want to detail
here, but put as a simple line it goes something like this:ExtClassloader <-
AppClassloader <- UrlClassloader -> WebAppClassloader
All classloaders resolve "up" first except the webapp loader which goes
"down" first in this order
1. WEB-INF/lib
2. WEB-INF/classes
The webapp classloader is a Tomcat class so there should be no difference
between it and one running with Tomcat.
