In the case of Catalina, I'm against it since you have setup a system of
defining things in the build.properties file and requiring people to already
download a ton of other stuff anyway.
The next logical step is to use Geir's JJAR (look in the
jakarta-commons-sandbox) to automatically download the right .jar files for
you.
