Jakarta Tomcat is a web server written in 100% Pure Java.
Tomcat 5.x is the current release of Tomcat,
and builds upon the Tomcat 3.3 and Tomcat 4.1 codebases.
The 5.x releases implement the Servlet 2.4 and JSP 2.0 specifications.
Apache Tomcat 5.5 is the current focus of development.
While it supports the same Servlet and JSP Specification versions
as Apache Tomcat 5.0.x, there are significant changes in many areas
under the hood, resulting in improved performance, stability,
and total cost of ownership.

Clean up Tomcat 4, 4.1, 5, and 5.5 ports.
These changes apply to all ports, unless mentioned otherwise:
- Move jakarta-tomcat55 to tomcat55 (it is no longer a Jakarta project). [6]
- Improve the tomcat55 rc script. Fix PID handling. Improve the
shutdown process. Use USE_RC_SUBR to its full potential. [2]
- Backport tomcat55 rc script to the other tomcat ports. This allows
us to pass command line arguments to the JVM. Noted in UPDATING.
[1], [3], [4]
- Change ownership of installed files. All files are now installed
with default uid/gid (root:wheel) except for those in the conf/, logs/,
temp/ and work/ directories. [5]
- No longer install tomcatXXctl binary. rc scripts are more flexible
and can be reconfigured without recompiling.
(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
- Allow user to specify a Tomcat deamon user/group through TOMCAT_USER and
TOMCAT_GROUP (www/www by default)
- Make it possible to add user/group even if UID/GID number is reserved

Install ${PREFIX}/bin/tomcat55ctl even if rcNG script does not make use of it.
This should help users that are used to it.
As a side effect, this change will also fix the packing list.
