I've done it, and yes it's a huge pain.  Unfortunately the simple fact is
Java applications are designed to be installed as separate contexts.  Just
there are some restrictions when doing that and there is a desire to have
them in the same instance--it simplifies remoting for example.  I can't
offer any real tips other than be careful when merging the files--and I'll
agree MM should have provided a better tool to do this.  The installer
should even be able to do it automatically for you.

If you're not using remoting to talk to CFC's directly, then I would say
install it as a separate web application (different context root).  That
requires only expanding the war file and no manual merging.

Good luck!
