That might work. Since Tomcat doesn't install any files in /etc, I don't
think installing a new version of Tomcat or uninstalling the old one
will remove them.

I would allow Tomcat to install itself into .../apache-tomcat-4.1.40
instead of trying to make the directory names match. You might confuse
yourself by having a 4.1.40 install in a directory named 4.1.24.

You could also use the magic of symlinks like this:

/usr/local/tomcat -> /usr/local/apache-tomcat-4.0.40

Then, all your scripts can point to /usr/local/tomcat and not a specific
version.

You could always read the scripts to find out what's going on. I suspect
they are quite simple.

At this point, if you don't know what to do, perhaps you should get
someone else to perform this upgrade.
