[Deploying Sakai] Adding an IE compatibility header

[Matthew Jones]

The resource render problem is fixed in
http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-15642

This is in 2.6.x, possibly for 2.6.1.

For a general tomcat IE compatibility header addition, you can apply the
patch to requestfilter at
http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-16074

Since IE8 isn't an "officially" supported sakai browser no-one really
commented on adding the workaround, but they are available and some fixes
are being made as they are found. If the apache workaround works for you
then that seems pretty easy too.
