A more elegant way of injecting foundry into the environment #15

To elaborate on this a bit more...

Right now, to get started, you have to add a mapping for foundry... I guess this is more of a gripe... it would be amazing if it felt more like an extension to your CF dev environment.

I do think once FPM is done and is delivering perfectly, it will feel more like home... :D

But, I'd love it if we could easily inject new UDF's into the global space for a given application. I know people have done it with cfinclude / application.cfc but not sure if there is a better way.

Also, an automated installer for Foundry would be rad... Some sort of tie in with the CF Admin / Railo Context Admin api's to create the mapping for them.

Maybe once Railo CLI is in place we will have a nice little all in one build that stashes Railo CLI in a hidden folder and makes calls to it for processing.

Who knows, so many ideas, so little resources.
