-------------------------------------------------------------

For the 0.8 release we added a listing of pathnames for all licenses for 
supporting products, into the top-level LICENSE.txt file.

That was reasonably easy with 'find' because we tried to maintain a file naming 
convention following the {packageName}.license.txt pattern. Careful, some are 
uppercase.

That was double-checked by searching for all jar etc packages and ensure that 
they had a matching license file.

That process needs to be repeated each at release until we get a better way.
