Well, it's a new port (jakarta-tomcat4 instead of jakarta-tomcat), so it's
not really a change of a current port.
The advantages are obvious. If you use a different accept-port by default,
then you can install and run Tomcat 3 and 4 at the same time. And Orion and
Apache too :-) And perhaps in a not so distant future some other JSP
containers too B-)
BTW, if you're introducing a port containing a newer version of a program
that is already in the ports tree (and stays there with the new one) you can
also submit a diff. I was told to submit a diff between www/orion and
www/orion-current when I submitted the latter. Just FYI. The advantage is
that the new port has the same history as the older. So in fact it's becoming
sort of a branch.
