Yes, a plus might be a comment to this effect in the
/etc/tomcat4/conf/tomcat4.conf file to save people from discovering this
first hand. :-)

Yep, I do. Just make my own directories in those locations.
I'm just making comments as I run through the install and I notice
issues. Currently I end up runing a config script of my own to configure
tomcat after the rpm is installed. This is to prepare tomcat for our
software installation. I catch alot of this stuff in there. If it seems
like a good idea or an issue that could be solved in the rpm/scripts
then I pass suggestions on to you guy's.
thanks,
Mark
