Adds instruction for IIS 6 to add dll as a Web Service Extension

Overview:
Using the current instructions off of the apache web site, the isapi_redirect.dll will not successfully run in IIS 6.0.

Steps to Reproduce: 
 On Windows Server 2003 running IIS 6 install the isapi_redirect.dll following the directions in 'Configuration' at http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/webserver_howto/iis.html#Configuring%20the%20ISAPI%20Redirector
When you're done, he configuration looks complete.

Actual Result:
The connector is filtering the request, and entries will be made in the log file proving that the connector is reading and matching requests. However, the requests do not get forwarded to Tomcat.

Expected Result:
The connector should be forwarding requests that match the entries in uriworkers.properties to the Tomcat instance specified by the matched worker.

Build & Platform:
Setup: 
 Win Server 2k3
 IIS 6.0
 Tomcat 5.5 (JBoss 4.0.4)
 isapi_redirect-1.2.26.dll
 isapi_redirect-1.2.25.dll
 isapi_redirect-1.2.15.dll
 IE 5,6 Firefox 2.0.0.14

Further Information:
The required information is already on the atlassian website, however it should probably be included in the core documentation at apache. Googling turns up more instances of people having this problem before returning atlassian's page.

(Scroll down to the section titled IIS 6.0)

Severity:
Set to normal as this only impacts a very specific configuration. However, in that configuration it's critical as it prevents any normal operation of the connector.

Many thanks for the patch. I modified it slightly and committed it to the jk docs. It will be in the next release.
