[Catalyst] Catalyst::Engine needs a stop method

[Jon]

Hi Kennedy,

Thanks for the suggestion.  Although it's a possible option for me, it's
not my preference.  Before forking, I set up the context for the
background operation in the Cat environment, so I would have to
reproduce all of that logic separately if I were to use a separate POE
server.
