How to upgrade form 4.1.12 to 4.1.16beta?

What is the easiest way to upgrade from tomcat 4.1.12 to 4.1.16 beta?

Can I just move my server.xml, shared libraries, and webapps over to the new
directory?

Better yet, can I just copy some of the new jar files into the original
tomcat directory?

I just ended up installing the binary and copying over my webapps, web.xml,
server.xml, and a couple other files.  Wasn't too bad.  After checking, I
think I could have just swapped out jar files as well, but didn't want to
take the chance since it was kind of an emergency.

Yes, but as a general rule, you should clean the work directory.
Sometimes server.xml changes a bit (although it stays backwards 
compatible), so you may want to check it for newer parameters (for 
example, in 4.1.17, the connector will use a slightly different 
configuration, although the old one still works).
