Well, e.g. to start with I'd say that all classes in org.mmbase.util which are
not used by mmbase core itself, can be moved to a seperate app.

But I would be reluctant to do so, because for the moment it will only
create problems, and  doesn't solve a thing.

E.g. the taglib app. will then depend also on then util-package. We'll have
to fix that then too. We will encounter problems, which I am not wanting to
solve, especially not while the 'maven' decision is pending, and am not
willing to invest in the current mechanisms on that area.

As a example I think this is bit similar to the introduction of the
'contribution' CVS module. Although that decision may have been principally
correct, in practice it only makes my life harder, because I don't have one
target to create every jar now, and the number of times on which I forgot to
upload mmbase-aselect to the server is countless. Just because it does not
automaticly appear between the other jars any more after a full build.

What I'm saying is, why are we insisting on making life more difficult,
especially when there is _no_ practical gain.
