Chad, thanks for the great suggestion!  I hadn't considered this hook
before.  This will come in handy, for sure.

Are you suggesting that the plugin directly read the definitive
versions of the metadata and gridmap files stored in the GridShib home
directory (or the IdP home directory if we go that route)?  I'm not so
sure this is a good idea.  Shouldn't the files in $IDP_HOME$ be copied
over to the tomcat directory after they've been modified?

Thanks for your suggestions,
Tom
