This is not Tomcat specific. java.library.path is readonly, so this won't
work. You'll have to set the property on startup of the JVM, i. e.
add -Djava.library.path=<your path> to the JVM's arguments.

If you start Tomcat with the shell scripts, you can create a file named
setenv.sh (resp. setenv.bat on Windows) where JAVA_OPTS is set appropriately.
If you use the service launcher, you'll have to define this somewhere in the
GUI.
