tomcat-dbcp.jar is a "package renamed database connection pool based on
Commons DBCP", basically a JAR rebuilt from commons-dbcp and commons-
pool JAR binaries. We ship those as links in lib/ instead.

It is in debian policy to build everything from source, and the tomcat-
dbcp.jar in Tomcat is built from a binary, making it non-acceptable,
that's the reason why we use the original commons-* libs instead. This
also avoids code duplication which is bad from a distribution
perspective.

Except the fact that some examples in the docs need to be adapted, could
you find an example of something that doesn't work because we use the
regular commons-* libs ? Does anything fail ?
