Both. You've made the incorrect assumption that "made visible" means
"made visible to web applications", which is incorrect. A classloader
makes classes and resources visible to whoever has access to the
classloader; webapps do not have access to the Catalina classloader.

Tomcat is the one that processes the servlet mappings, so the CGIServlet
needs to be visible only to Tomcat, not the rest of the webapp.

Put it in the deployment script for your webapp - with appropriate
documentation about what it's doing.
