[Opensource] installing expresso in a subdirectory of the context

[Mike Traum]

I've been making several fixes to the code so that it'll work in a
subdirectory of the context (the 'expresso' directory as well as the action
definitions). Until now, I've been using ConfigManager.getMapping on the
class name of the action in order to get its mapping. Being that the class
name could change as easily as the path, now I'm wondering if this is the
way to go, or if we should just have a new ConfigManager property.

For path related setup values, right now we have:
Setup Database (om.jcorporate.expresso.services.dbobj.Setup)
- ContextPath
- BaseDir   ( I don't think this is currently being used - should we remove
it?)
expresso-config.xml
- images
- expressoDir

It looks like the new property would be most suitable in dbobj.Setup because
it is a global setting.

What should we name this new property? We already have 'BaseDir', but that's
the file system directory. How about 'BasePath'?
