Non-JCA doesn't necessarily mean it's not part of OO.o.  In fact, it doesn't
really matter whether this piece is considered "external" or "part of OO.o", as
long as the functionality is provided with the OO.o.  Isn't that what matters
ultimately?

This Solver project has historically been a community effort - well, it's just
my own effort for 99.9% of the code.  And I'm a little concerned about the
possible overhead it might incur by making this too coupled with the main code
base (and the upstream development process, in particular).

I believe that, for the long term, we would benefit more by leaving this piece
external with a pure LGPL license, and use it as a means to encourage more
community participation.  We'll likely need a lot of help from those who are
specialized in this field to bring this piece to the next level, and I don't
think the current project structure is well optimized for that.

So, it would be great if someone could check with Sun legal if it's possible to
keep this code LGPL only, and integrate it as an external component.  I realize
there is no precedent for something like this, but trust me, it is worth the 
effort.
