[ale] Tomcat install

[Jason Vinson]

I'm pretty sure blackdown doesn't get compiled from source on gentoo, 
but I could be wrong.

As long as your environment is set up appropriately 
(.bashrc/.bash_profile) and a binary install of tomcat is fine.  I 
don't like how gentoo sets it up to run as root with init.d startup 
scripts.

To each his own though,
Jason
