Description

Since my original changes to have Tomcat configuration stored in /etc, with only binaries under /usr/lib, I've had a few thoughts on how it should've been done better that I'd like to get in before 0.8.0, which would be the first release my changes are included in.

• The code for doing the deployment should be a separate script, rather than a function defined separately in each entry point. This will reduce code duplication and prevent inconsistency, and also make it clearer for users following along.
• The code in /etc only includes the /conf/ folder. There are some other config files that may need to be edited by users for things like HTTPS support. These should be stored in /etc as well and deployed at the same time.
