I've managed to find a rather nasty hack to solve this problem. In
lib/AxKit2/XSP/TaglibHelper.pm I've changed line 436 from

	      . func_name($funspec) . "(";

to

	      . func_name($funspec) . "(\$self->client,";

which makes every taglib function be called with an extra (mandatory,
first) argument which contains the client object. It works --at least
it does for my own version of AxKit::XSP::WebUtils--, but of course
the hack is pretty nasty, if only because I have to change all taglib
functions. I will really try to find a neater solution, but thought
I'd share this for the time being.
