It is done for security reasons so that the JVM instance for Tomcat isn't
using the same temp directory as other applicaitons on the system.
Also so that there is a common temp directory path that is system neutral.
This is more secure when you lock down Tomcat with the SecurityManager and

Do not remove this temp directory. This is the temporary

-Djava.io.tmpdir. This temp directory is used by the JVM
for internal things like jar files, etc.

generated in the StandardHost's workDir.
I believe that it's unused and doesn't belong
