That's too much work... there's an easier way...

Rather, download the tomcat 3.1 binary. Untar it in the directory of your
choice. Don't rebuild it.

Is apache Manual mode on or off? it should be set to 'on'

Try this URL:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat/src/doc/uguide/tomcat_ug.html
It goes in detail on several versions of tomcat.conf and other configuration
files. Do a search for tomcat.conf on the page. That should help.

It does reload servlets, but it's an option. (I think reload is set on by
default.)
Remember, that servlets now need to be in the webapp archive location.
Specifically, the zones are (basically) replaced by the webapps structure.
So, a webapp should declare the servlets that are available to the web server.
(Forget about zones.) If the webapp is set to reload, any classes in the
webapp structure will be reloaded when they change.

Also, you (shouldn't) need to recompile anything. Re-use the mod_jserv.so
from the jserv package you already have.
The above URL should help. (Note that I found the URL at the bottom of
the main tomcat page... at
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/index.html
under the 'user's guide' link. The 'application developers guide' has
some useful information, but the first URL that I gave should provide
the most amount of help.)
