        You're right. If tomcat is perfect, each webapp can have its own
set of .jar without patching any file in common/endorsed. If one uses
tomcat 4.1.x LE, he just needs to patch xalan.jar only while xerces.jar,
mail.jar and activation.jar in each webapp can still be loaded correctly.

        Maybe we have to consider how to incorporate the patch in
build.xml by detecting whether one uses tomcat 4.0.x/4.1.x and full/LE
version.
