All development (ports-wise) is hapenning in www/jakarta-tomcat55 at the
moment. Issues related to JVM arguments that were addressed by several
PRs have been worked on and improvements have been commited into this
port. I am currently waiting for the maintainer to approve a recent
patch posted to the list and then we can move on and merge all of these
improvements to the other tomcat ports.

Given the number of people actually requesting such features for other
tomcat ports, I am about to handle these changes on my own (unless
someone volunteers to takeover maintainership and to submit patches).
