One that I encountered last week was Midje. In trying to work through all of its dependencies I discovered that Pomegranate is also dependent on Maven, but I think I was able to work around that by adding 4 or 5 Maven libraries into our repository as dependencies (not ideal, but it looked like it would work). But I still wasn't able to get Midje working due some assumptions about Leiningen.
