Perhaps part of the problem there is the lack of sharing of common parts
between the different engines, for instance there is a lot in the HTTP
Engine that really belongs in a common superclass.

Once that is there it should be no problem to plug this kind of thing
directly into the Engine class; I think the request cycle is ultimately
the wrong place for non-request events to be triggered.

However, as a temporary measure, I guess most users simply won't
care/notice where it is.
