Unless everyone's in a hurry to port mod_jk on TC 4 ASAP, I suggest waiting
a bit. I'll be spending time on a "new" connector architecture for TC 4
which will actually be very similar to the one in TC 3.3 (except hopefully
even cleaner and simpler). That should make porting mod_jk much easier if
there are still people who want to do that.
