People who understand enough about class paths to keep themselves out of trouble
are also able to create their own customized versions of the catalina.bat and
catalina.sh startup scripts.  I'm sure such enterprising users will also
maintain a place where current versions of such a script can be downloaded.
It doesn't need to be changed in the standard distribution.

The current behavior was introduced because class path problems cause a *very*
large percentage of difficulties for new users of Tomcat, and these problems
have vanished since Tomcat was changed to ignore any previously set CLASSPATH.

Given this, I am -1 on changing it to do as you propose.  You can always create
your own modified copy of catalina.bat or catalina.sh, but then you are also
on your own for debugging any problems that this causes.

In response to the response from  Craig McClanahan:
Well, I understand that CLASSPATH gave some problems which is why
I proposed an alternative CATALINA_CLASSPATH or setting the path in
the web.xml file using a Context/Classpath element.

MMC, there is a patch attached to bug 3368 
(http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3368) that you can apply 
privately (unfortunately, it is slightly out of date) in case the powers that 
be close it again (they most certainly will).

Responding to the statement about problems having vanished, I am sure we are 
going to see what's happened to CLASSPATH, and you mean there is no way to 
locate jars outside Tomcat directory structure as people start *using* TC4. It 
is too early to say (to me at least) that the silence means the approach had 
its desired effect. In any case, you can't justify this (again, to me at least) 
by pointing at novice users without providing any way for non-novice users to 
solve the problem other than patching the code (or writing their own startup 
code).
