I haven't tried this, but you could pass along a 
-Dcatalina.base=%CATALINA_BASE%

When running the batch files to start Tomcat, the environment variable 
CATALINA_BASE, if specified, declares where your custom instance of Tomcat 
is with its own conf/server.xml (along with the other config files).  If it 
isn't specified, CATALINA_BASE ends up being the same as 
CATALNIA_HOME.  Try it out and see if it works for you.

Note that for the instructions to work, you at least need CATALNIA_HOME and 
CATALINA_OPTS defined.
