I proposed a long time ago as a simple solution to have all jars (that don't belong to the core) in lib/optional. The build process will not automatically copy all jars from there to WEB-INF/lib but only those required for the included blocks. This should be a simple fix to the current build system, but due to lack of time I never did it. Carsten
