Agreed. I'll do some documentation work when I've done these changes.
Apart from anything else we need to clear up the inconsitencies between
different version of Tomcat install instructions.

Do we keep the basic ECS screens (DefaultScreen, Login etc), or remove
them, or move them to an example subdir? I would go for leaving them
there but switched off in TR.properties but then they are still exposed
which might not be satisfactory for Turbine users...

Ah - yeah, I wondered why it looked a bit odd. Quite a cool effect
though :-)

I'll knock something simple together and then if anyone wants to spice
it up a bit they can... I'll give it a look I like - lots of grey TD
backgrounds like a lot of the Java Apache site, otherwise very simple
and clean.
