Given that enhancing the distribution build process is
being considered, is it settled that the binary distribution
will continue using "jakarta-tomcat", or is it to be
switched to "tomcat"?
In the documentation, I will try to make sure the Windows
examples would match unzipping the binary distribution
to the root of the drive being used in the example.
Thanks,
Larry
