Tomcat 4.1 Installation Failure

[Palle Girgensohn]

Yeah, without looking at the source it looks like the port does a chmod 
-R `find ...`  where it really has to to a find ... -exec chmod {} ;\
the argument list for chmod becomes too long....

BTW, I seem to remember that the tomcat port installs *all* its files 
as the web server user. Is this really clever from a security 
perspective? All tomcat needs to write to is work, webapps and perhaps 
conf if you want autocreated configurations, right? But this was beside 
the point, I guess... Try modifying the Makefile as describved above, 
it should work.
