It would be nice if this were downloadable separately, if that's possible.

I think there are good reasons, the tests are part of the derby project
and it allows people with the download to run the tests in their own
environment.
I do think the layout is wrong. Currently for the tests we have (from
the top level):
lib/derbyTesting.jar
I think that the testing jars should be separated from the functionality
jars, something like:
testing/README.html // Simplified instructions on how to run the tests
testing/derbyTesting.jar
testing/jakarta-oro-2.0.8.jar
This would then allow us to ship additional jars (licence permitting) to
ease the ability to run tests from a distribution. The split also makes
it obvious which are the test jars and which are the real jars.
