So, let's say this idea is adopted. Let's further claim that my
organization, for whatever reason, _requires_ that we use Tomcat. What
are the steps that I have to follow to continue to use Tomcat? (or
JBoss or whatever)...

At root I'm asking how many hoops we'll require the user in the above
situation to jump through to use Solr. Is it just executing 'ant
dist-war' or some such?

Let's be sure to lay out the alternative so people don't panic unless
they should...
