[fedora-java] Packaging tomcat shell scripts

[Robert Rati]

I should mention that I'd actually tested the functionality and done all 
the work needed for this piece of functionality to make it into hadoop. 
  The missing piece is the tomcat shell scripts.  If those are packaged 
then I just need to do a little work and I can include the functionality 
in hadoop.  The same work will be needed for other parts of the hadoop 
ecosystem.
