Just compile and install tomcat from rhug.  I don't think the install
procedure is very sophisticated right now.  Find the directory where the
webapps are supposed to be and compile then servlets to .class or .so
files.  It should really be that easy.

You will definitely need the tools on the 3.1 branch.  It won't build
with anything older anymore (compiler options have changed names, for
instance).

Just whatever is in rhug right now.  I'd like to get upgrade this to
tomcat4 once we get jsp working.

Nobody has tried this yet.

As you can see, this is mostly uncharted territory.  I think it has
great potential if we can get it built/working and easy to install.

Thanks!
