Public API for programmatic registration of Taglet?

[Martin Desruisseaux]

This is fine, thanks for investigating. Would the following
implementation adjustment be also acceptable?

  * If the Doclet and the Taglet are defined in the same JAR file, then
    they share the same URLClassLoader.

I'm not 100% sure that this is the right thing to do. But it would be
helpful (while not indispensable) in the case that I described (doclet
and taglet sharing common custom data structures).
