Hello Tony,

I think that it would be better to ship everything in a new
tomcat6-extras package. As this package requires to open the RMI ports
to be useful remotely, it can pose a security risk, so it's better if
the user takes the initiative to install it if he really needs it.
BTW, there are other ways of accessing JMX remotely nowadays, I've found
Jolokia (http://www.jolokia.org/) to be quite useful, it's pure JSON
over HTTP.
