Including servlet.jar would be inappropriate, I think.  This contains 
the specific implementations for the J2EE specified Servlet and JSP 
interfaces (which are also included in the jar, for convenience reasons) 
for a given version of Tomcat.  Thus, this jar is different for given 
versions of Tomcat and simply doesn't exist with other containers.

With other projects it's usual to just require the user to make sure 
their J2EE classes are on their classpath and then include that 
classpath in the command line tool classpath.  Which I'm honestly not 
sure if we do or not, with the standard Shib scripts, but you certainly 
could with the GridShib scripts you might have.
