I should note that these changes are backwards compatible. In the future we will need to make some other backwards incompatible changes (in particular moving some of the stuff from $PHOENIX_HOME/lib to $PHOENIX_HOME/ext or $PHOENIX_HOME/bin/lib). This will enable us to be much much more flexible in the way we deploy things (and allow all the proper classloader goodness for servlet containers). But thats in the future!
