I'm wondering whether we really need to build it in to Tomcat itself,
though. Can't you accomplish the same thing by using a little Ant script
and run a <filter> or <replace> task? All this would require is packaging
ant.jar along with Tomcat, or requiring users that need the facility to
download Ant themselves.
Extending this a little further, you could run an Ant <style> or Anakia
task to convert some internal representation of the server environment you
wish to create into a valid server.xml file for whichever version of
Tomcat you wanted to run ...
