OK...I've answered my own question...but just in case someone else needs 
the answer...

"...the Tomcat 4 <Host> attribute named liveDeploy has been renamed 
autoDeploy in Tomcat 5,
and the Tomcat 4 attribute named autoDeploy has been renamed 
deployOnStartup in Tomcat 5.
(from www.onjava.com).

So, to stop the behavior, I needed to change the host lines that read:...

unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="true"

to read...

unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="false"
deployOnStartup="true"

Note: You have to explicitly set autoDeploy to "false"  because it defaults 
to "true" unless
specified otherwise (I left the unpackWARs line in there just so it's clear 
what to set).

With these settings, war files deploy only on startup...then, later, if the 
war files are removed,
the deployed application stays.
