       Body:
I thought about plugging it in to Maven's Java startup, but it would require reading 
some XML file like you say to find the files. For a once only task, it seemed like 
overkill. Not that you don't have to use this script on startup - it can be run 
independantly to create a working repo.

This isn't a separately maintained list: it is generated in the bootstrap using the 
dependencies in project.xml, the same way the libs are copied into /lib and 
/lib/endorsed in the first place.
Probably the only "duplicated" names are the need to check explicitly for "xerces" and 
"xml-apis" and copy from lib/endorsed instead of lib.

I think a better solution is to have multiple local repos, starting with 
${maven.home}/repository. We can distribute without lib and lib/endorsed, but with the 
jars in the repo and forehead can set up from there.

Description:
At present (or when I checked all this out for b9), the Maven download included

* Duplicate jars in the lib and lib/endorsed - The maven batch / sh scripts should 
copy these from the lib directory as required.
* Doesn't prepopulate the repository - The jars in lib can be precopied to the repo if 
they don't exist in there already. This will save a couple of meg of download as those 
jars are frequently used.
