Replaces the default Grails Commons DBCP Pool with Tomcat JDBC Pool

Replaces the default Grails Commons DBCP Pool with Tomcat JDBC Pool. Versions 7.0.37 and above require Grails version 2.0 or higher; to use the plugin in Grails 1.3 use version 1.0.9.3. Version 1.0.9.3 has support for the datasources plugin, whereas versions 7.0.37 work with the multiple-datasources support in Grails 2.0.

There are only a couple of lines of code in the plugin. The plugin just replaces the bean's class name with "org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.DataSource" for beans having the class "org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource" (this is done in doWithSpring which is called before the Spring context is running). Tomcat JDBC Pool is properties-compatible with Commons DBCP.
