[PATCH] build.xml instead of build.sh

I (personally) hate setting all those crazy environmental variables to build
Catalina, and since Ant is kind enough to ignore the "property file" tag if
the file does not exist, I feel this can be safely included for general use.

I've had positive success with eliminating build.sh and build.bat (and the
associated environment variables) entirely on other projects, in favor of
using Ant properties files.  I will be happy to see us do this on Tomcat
4 a well -- but please, not until after beta 2 :-).
