Debugging options for tomcat41ctl

[Ernst de Haan]

No. If we start using something other than daemonctl, then that's perfectly 
fine, but then we must keep the functionality we provide at this very 
moment. Perhaps we could have just a single wrapper C program that will set 
the UID and/or GID and then executes a script with the specified arguments.

I don't have time to go really into this, but I'm really supporting all 
efforts to improve this feature.
