that'd be me!
It appears that they are used in conjunction with an automatic download type of functionality.
yep, among other things. I outlined all of that in the "[PROPOSAL] follow apache mirror layout convention" thread. That was a long e-mail; I can repost if you want.
I can look it up on MARC.

Is this one of the steps to have Merlin integration?
Uhm, the new structure among other things has
/dist/avalon/${groupId}/jars/${artifactId}-${version}.jar
which means www.apache.org/dist/avalon/ is now usable as a maven "remote repository". I've been writing a forrest plugin for maven, and so far it seems to be working rather well. IIUC, RuperTask and Centipede can work with the same layout. This is nice because merlin (which builds using maven) can use our own repository.
That's not the only goal: In addition, we're now following the layout conventions as decided on by the infrastructure team and agreed upon on the repository list.
Ok.

If so, could you explain a little on how to set those up for all the new libraries?
basically, you will want to symlink to the latest files replacing the version with 'latest', to provide for easy access to the latest version (like http://www.apache.org/dist/avalon/framework/Avalon-latest-bin.zip). And you want to follow the maven convention of ${groupId}/jars/${artifactId}-${version}.jar. This might deserve to go on the wiki:
Sure, put it on the WIKI. I have some to build up, so I want to get it done ASAP.
