As it happens, because I'm getting quite sick and tired of the whole
business, I changed both 1.7 and HEAD builds yesterday, to produce:

mmbase.org ~/stable/nightly-build/build/mmbase/mmbase-webapp/WEB-INF/lib$ ls
activation.jar          commons-fileupload-1.0.jar  hsqldb.jar         
jai_codec.jar          jai_core.jar          legal/                   
log4j-1.2.8.jar
mail.jar                mmbase-community.jar        mmbase-dove.jar    
mmbase-editwizard.jar  mmbase.jar            mmbase-rmmci-server.jar  
mmbase-taglib.jar
mmbase-xmlimporter.jar  xalan.jar                   XERCES.README.txt  
xerces.renametojar     xml-apis.renametojar


So, xalan.jar is shipped, because according to me, you simply need it,
and it can be placed in WEB-INF/lib. xerces and xml-apis are shipped
also, but 'commented away'. In XERCES.README.txt I tried to write what
to do when. It is not complete, so please review
documentation/releases/XERCES.README.txt.

Whatever we do with the 'jars', I suggest that at least we document in
the README why it is like this, and what changes in the installation
process if something changes.

Perhaps it must be renamed to README simply, on retrospect, because
there are other similar issues.. (e.g. I see activation and mail, which
may in certain cases also better be placed in common/endorsed).
