No.
I understand the original question was about making the taglibs
available to all the web apps, not just one, right?
If you put the jar under a WEB-INF/lib then it will be available only
to the web app to which that WEB-INF belong.
As far as I can tell, to share the jar with all the applications you should
put it under $TOMCAT_HOME/lib.
The tld file itself seems to have to be somewere under the application's
directory (the parent of WEB-INF) since the <taglib-location> in the
web.xml interprets it in relation to that root of the web app.
See the JSP 1.1 spec sections 5.2.2 and 5.3.1 (and around).

Subject: Re: where to put tag libraries
so, something like:
$TOMCAT_HOME/WEB-INF/lib
or
$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/foobar/WEB_INF/lib
if i just put the class files in the $TOMCAT_HOME/lib, i just need to
alter the web.xml and put the taglibs in the
$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/foobar/WEB-INF?
each webapps needs to have the taglib.tld in its WEB-INF directory?
