Interresting. I actually had started laszlo devellopment with such a setup 
(letting the OS watch for file changes and run lzc, then viewing the 
resulting swf in apache).

I slowly gave it up because compile on tomcat was slightly faster (some 
caching feature I think) and a vague feeling that I wasn't doing thing the 
Proper Way (tm).
Also, the compiler warnings/errors are not the same on both compilers (you 
thought it was just a different interface to the same code, did'nt you ? :p), 
but there is no clear winner (sometimes lzc is more usefull, sometimes 
tomcat).

If all else fails, I might go back to that setup. And avoid dev-to-solo 
surprises ;)
