This is a great question. I've been thinking about the same issues. I've been working on several projects here and I've migrated from Tomcat to IIS/ServletExec to Orion. At one point, I put most of my jar files in WEB-INF/lib which were "found" by IIS but not by Orion.
Then I started working with another developer on one of the projects and we needed to share the same environment. So we put the jar files out on a network directory. He uses Ant to build, I use a bat script which sets the CLASSPATH at the beginning. Currently we're using Sun's servlet.jar.
