Nit picking: probably not.  It looks like the manager app does all the work of 
starting and stopping other webapps, so there doesn't appear to be any threads 
running around to do the work for you.  You could have some other app restart 
the manager, but then you've basically just reimplemented the manager.  
Auto-deploy is probably the only other means of restarting the manager.

Such loading actually only occurs when needed, not at deployment, other than 
for listeners and servlets marked as load-on-startup.  Consequently, missing 
classes may not be found for quite some time.
