new method prepareXML for GS3ServerThread - calls ant configure-servlets-xml. GLI needs servlets.xml to be present when starting up. Is an ant start or ant configure has not yet been run, this file won't be where it needs to be. It is generated on configure, which is run whenever tomcat starts up. If tomcat not running, GLI starts it, but this takes a wee while, and GLI may be looking for servlets.xml before the start thread has gotten around to creating it. so lets just set this file up first before starting tomcat.
