[PATCH] add option to stop tomcat.bat spawning a new window

[Conor MacNeill <co...@m64.com>]

This patch allows you, on NT, to not have tomcat run in a separate window.
Often the exception stacktrace from the tomcat window is lost as the window
disappears. This behaviour is achieved by adding a -nospawn option to the
tomcat.bat file.

I have also cleaned up this file to remove unnecessary (at least I think
they are unnecessary) echo statements. I have also changed the "syntax" of
the usage printout.
