Apache Tomcat init script

Just the code, and only the code. Here's the script. For Red Hat Enterprise and downstream distributions running a .tar.gz binary package downloaded from Apache Tomcat site (not the shipping RHEL version of Tomcat). Tested with versions of Tomcat from version 5 to 7 (latest as of this writing).
