The dir contexts are *also* part of naming.jar, so naming.jar has to be
there if you want Catalina to run.
Although Standard context has actual dependencies on
org.apache.naming.xxxRef objects and others, I promise that if you're using
"-nonaming" none of these will actually get initialized or used. I can sign
a paper if you want ;)
It's safe to say that we'll move the naming initialization to a separate
class (but that will happen after b2).
