add way to put additional directories in shared classloader

           Summary: add way to put additional directories in shared
                    classloader
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.24
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: bslesins@best.com


It looks like these directories are hard-coded in Bootstrap.java to be fixed
subdirectories of CATALINA_BASE.  (BTW the documentation still says CATALINA_HOME.)

I want to add classes and jar files from some additional directories.  (They are
at fixed locations in my development environment and I'm migrating from JRun
which does make this configurable.)

Perhaps a catalina.shared-classpath property?

(Symbolic links would work except I'm running on Windows.  Guess I'll have to
copy them.)
