Description

Please add a feature that would allow tobago themes to include a favicon.ico file ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon ). When using tobago 1.0.10 I get this warning if the favicon.ico file is placed in the theme's image directory...

10:11:54,783 WARN [ResourceServlet] Unsupported file extension, will be ignored for security reasons. resource='org/apache/myfaces/tobago/renderkit/html/vermont/standard/image/favicon.ico'

On the users mailing list Arvid Hülsebus suggested "adding a favIcon attribute to tc:page, which
would in turn render a <link rel="icon" ...> element into the HTML header. Additionally the ResourceServlet has to be extended to support the .ico extension and map it to the content type "image/vnd.microsoft.icon" or "image/x-icon". Because this handling is missing you currently get the warning below."
