Heh, I now learned that a few are even almost 1:1 copies from our own maven-1 
utils ;)

Please compare the PathUtils from plexus-utils to 
http://maven.apache.org/maven-1.x/xref/org/apache/maven/util/DVSLPathTool.html

The only difference (beside 2 1-line bugfixes) are 2 new methods which Vincent 
Siveton (Maven PMC member) added.

@Vince: Is it ok for you to just take this (the latest revision before the 
license change) and commit it into our sandbox project [1]? txs! 

LieGrue,
strub
