Al, There's an existing JIRA for packaging the monitor as a war - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1325 - so that is a good place to start.
There's also been some discussion about going the other way - instead of building up the monitor we could tear it down and let somebody else maintain that code. The benefits are a reduced maintenance cost for us, especially on something that is not our forte. As a community we know how to make a good distributed storage system... less so on how to make a pretty web interface. You can check out https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1013 for more details there.
