[sakai2-tcc] Status of Websphere/DB2 support for 2.8.0

[John Bush]

i would just like to point out, and maybe this is something that could be
worked in the messaging, that irrespective of this stuff moving out of sakai
or not.  The efforts to port sakai to websphere/db2 did uncover many issues
about database and servlet container portability in Sakai.  Even removing
some of the specifics out of the code, still other changes would remain that
make it easier to port in the future.
