- Use a single call to <code>tomcat8.exe</code> to install the Windows
- service from <code>service.bat</code> rather than three calls. This is
- preparatory work for fixing <bug>56079</bug> as each time
- <code>tomcat8.exe</code> is called, a UAC dialog is displayed if UAC is
- enabled. (markt)

<bug>56115</bug>: Expose the <code>httpusecaches</code> property of
Ant's <code>get</code> task as some users may need to change the
default. Based on a suggestion by Anthony. (markt)

+ launched from a non-UAC console. This includes using a single call to

+ three calls, and using command line arguments instead of environment
+ variables to pass the settings. (markt/kkolinko)
