I'm not in favor of distributing deps along with Commons libraries'
distributions.
IMO:
* Its straightforward to provide an ant target to download the deps.
Oh. I am ignorant. Did not know that. How does this work? That might
be an option.
* Distribution of (potentially) 3rd party binaries (as an example,
JUnit, in this case) means we have to understand their licenses (by
refering to the ASF legal docs), determine reciprocity requirements as
needed etc. No bang for the buck here.
JUnit is save to use. All others are from Apache. Anyway, maybe they
could be kept optional.
