[sakai-core-team] Documentation - Tomcat 7

[Neal Caidin]

That'll be cool.

Oh, and I added the Sakai 2.9.1 statement back in , since it is still 
relevant for Sakai 2.9.1, but I also added some text that recommends 
upgrading to the latest version of Sakai. That is consistent with our 
browser message too and fits the reality of where we are at. The 
community is giving the most attention to the latest version of Sakai 
and the latest browsers.

Thanks
