For recent builds of Struts, we have "officially" tested against Tomcat 4.1.x and 5.0.x. Ostensibly, however, the build system supports Tomcat 3.2.x, 3.3.x, 4.0.x, 4.1.x and 5.0.x.

Since the trunk in SVN will become Struts 1.3, and we have (I believe) decided that 1.3 will up the Servlet dependency to 2.3, we should be able to jettison support for Tomcat 3.2.x and 3.3.x.

Remaining questions:

* Tomcat 4.0.x is no longer available from the Jakarta download page. Do
  we still need to test and support this version? What does it mean to
  stop supporting this version?

* Tomcat 5.5.x is the latest Tomcat version. I had thought that this was
  the JDK 5.0 version of Tomcat, but the Tomcat web site doesn't seem to
  say anything about this. Should we be testing against Tomcat 5.5.x?

So, the question is: Which versions of Tomcat do we need to support? I'd like to get our build system in tune with reality. ;-)

My own suggestion: Support only 4.1.x, 5.0.x, 5.5.x.
