Look at the code... Port binding is done in initialize() in Tomcat 4.0
already.

I think that we have a way for doing it, so that is pushing the thing all
way around, having a different invocation API different from public static
void main(Strings []), which handles that case...
That's IMO a lot cleaner, but I'm not fighting about it as FWIW I don't
care. (Kinda fed up with all this fighting).

So, do you want a loader, or a setuid call? PUSH or POP? I'm starting to
loose the point of what you kids want to do at this point...
