# Create our own FileSystemResolver so that it looks for a .html file to render if
# the (action).(format).erb file is not there. Useful for our MIME alias format.partial -
# instead of needing to create a (something).partial.erb file we can use (something).html.erb
# and use the template for both 
#
# In this case (something).partial.erb files will be used if we want to provide something different than
# what the normal partial provides us. WD-rpw 05-12-2011
