Maven is approching 1.0 relase. For 1.0 release this patch  most likly will
rejected as we are rather not going
to included any new features at this devlopment stage.

For next major release of Maven we need scalable solution not dirty hacks
(no offense but that's what it is!) 
which does support any arbitrary artifact type. No just an extra one.

We might want to fetch/deploy along with jars: javadocs, poms, jars with
debug information (number of lines are preserved) and probably few other 
types of artifacts. And we can (we should) give a power to plugins (like
eclipse plugin) to fetch any types of the artifacts it will want to.

This will be certainly addressed in future version of maven and experimental
code which sits in the CVS repository does allow this.
So Nicloas I am very sorry to say but this patch as it is not need! But we
might discuss where artifacts like zips with java sources will be located in
the repository as those things are not yet decided.
