| I made a --full rails engine with a single route: /spoon/welcome
| 
| In a katello install:
| 1. bundler.d/spoon.rb = gem 'spoon'
| 2. config/application/rb added require 'spoon'
| 
| The route https://mysys/spoon/welcome is not accessible. I assume this is
| because apache is not passing /spoon to /katello. How would I map an engines
| routes to be _under_ /katello (ie. /katello/spoon/welcome)? Or would I
| require the engine installer to update apache too (not my preference)?
| 

the engine routes should be avail under katello/spoon, there is nothing that would allow it to be under /spoon as thats taken care by apache.
