Re: [fw-mvc] why setting the $bootstrap variable to TRUE in index.php?

Don't take my word for final, as this is clearly something which Matthew
should respond, but my understanding is that it serves as a preventative
measue to ensure that the bootstrap will setup once. Upon turning to false,
the setup will bypass. I see what you are saying though, being that it only
hits the page one time. It might just be more preventative measures.
