Oh, and there's a third thing I'd like to do.  I'd like to create the
following scripts in bin:

setup:
export IDP_HOME=$IDP_HOME$
export CATALINA_HOME=$TOMCAT_HOME$
export EXT_NAME=$EXTENSION_NAME$

setup.bat:
set IDP_HOME=$IDP_HOME$
set CATALINA_HOME=$TOMCAT_HOME$
set EXT_NAME=$EXTENSION_NAME$

This will make it easier to use the command-line tools.
