If memory serves, those directives are to help automatically generate
the necessary apache-related JK config stuff.  (When using mod_jk to
connect tomcat to apache, you need to add some stuff to the apache
config file.)  You might notice an extra file there, perhaps called
something like mod-jk.conf (and not sure if it generates the
workers.properties), which supposedly can be included (directly or
indirectly) in the apache config file.  I say "supposedly" because I
seem to recall that the config stuff it generated, while certainly
helpful, wasn't always 100% complete/correct, and usually needed to be
modified a bit to work.
