Well not that hard, Tomcat 3.3 by itself dont tries to respect your
classpath, but because the  tomcat.(sh|bat) simply cleans classpath env
var before starting ( and recall it when it ends ) tomcat.., but by
itself dont takes any internal measure to do so, you can i.e construct a
classpath and modify tomcat.(sh|bat) shell command to start command with
a classpath of your own...

The thinking was "if you are someone that knows to have a classpath you
will knows too how modify tomcat.{sh|bat) to use it" to alleviate low
end user problems when first using Tomcat 3.3.

Your opinion is took into account for the 3.3 release..

Thanks for the feedback.
