Problem:
Right now in order to get the root folder of an applicaiton we need to put getDirectoryFromPath(getBaseTemplatePath()) in Application.cfc, and that doesn't really help with getting that same path from within a template where we have to do some special magic to find the root folder of the current application.Based on the growing strength of the "application" concept within ColdFusion, it only makes sense to have getApplicationPath() or getApplicationRootPath() available.It would return the root folder of the current application... i.e. the folder that contains the current Application.cfc or Application.cfm.The main place this would be useful is within Application.cfc for setting up mappings and custom tag paths, but it would also be useful for doing includes from within other libraries, or any time a path relative to the currently running application root is necessary (places like ColdSpring, where the context is always the current app folders even if the library is stored in other places).
