Frankly, given that I donšt care much about JK, I donšt care if they build
it as well..

So, then do all you want on JK... I _am_ talking about webapp. And my vetoes
will go only in the code _I_ wrote and _I_ care about...
I never vetoed the inclusion of CGIs (or DAV, or the manager) in Tomcat,
although I think it's just a pointless style effort, I don't want to see it
there, and I think it introduces security hazards that I don't even want to
THINK about... I simply install my Tomcat 4.0 binary distribution and do:
rm -f /export/tomcat/server/lib/servlets-cgi \
/export/tomcat/server/lib/servlets-manager \
/export/tomcat/server/lib/servlets-snoop \
/export/tomcat/server/lib/servlets-ssi \
/export/tomcat/server/lib/servlets-webdav
(Darn, I even have a script for doing that).

Given that I don't have an AS/400 (and not planning to have) to run those
things on, I could care less...

It itches you? Go and do it! FWIW I never actually patched a single line of
the build.xml... I just go and download binaries...

If it works, well, that can go in parallel, I don't care, as long as someone
won't start requiring me a JVM to build the sucker, because I don't have a
JVM on my Darwin/x86 box, and on my Linux/Playstation box.
/bin/sh (call it "autoconf" if you want) and GNU make (thank god) exist on
way more platforms than a JVM.
