The NOTICE date is a blocker for me.

The missing manifest entries are not as important, as the jars do
contain N & L files, but if it's easy to fix then it might as well be
done at the same time.

The SVN tag/source archive differences are not a blocker; but it would
be nice to fix those at some point as it makes it easier to check that
the source archive contains exactly what it should - nothing more,
nothing less.

Which reminds me - the DOAP file does not really belong in the source
archive - perhaps it could be moved to the "project" SVN directory?
Again, not a blocker.
