This is a concern I had left over from my expresso/eforum build experience
over the weekend.  As I said in the other email, I managed a successful
build that turned into a working setup on my home computer.

However ...

This requirement here requires that you have Tomcat installed on your
build machine.  The build is relying on Tomcat-supplied versions of
whatever .jar's it's relying on (I haven't dug into what it's actually
trying to access).

The issue/concern is that I'm deploying to Resin.  Resin provides much the
same .jar's and API support, but in a different directory structure.  You
couldn't set CATALINA_HOME to point to Resin because of this.  This means
you compile against Tomcat but deploy to Resin.

Is there an incompatibility issue here?
