True for servletapi.

Don't forget Tomcat 3! (except that jakarta-watchdog is hopelessly broken, 
with no active committers).  I don't really have any objection to 
corpse-watching.  We should probably assume jakarta-tools in this case as 
well (dead project used, AFAIK, only by watchdog).

Other than jakarta-servletapi-3.0 would be an alias for jakarta-servletapi, 
I agree with moving them to the tomcat PMC oversight.  However, they have a 
separate committer list (for good reason), and this should be preserved.

The last version of mod_jserv is already living in jakarta-tomcat.  If there 
is another copy not listed at http://jakarta.apache.org/site/cvsindex.html, 
I vote to nuke it, since it is even older and less supported than the copy 
in jakarta-tomcat.  Personally, I don't care if the jakarta-tomcat version 
works or not (since I've finally moved my last webapp off of it :).
