It is only 100k, and it only happens once, but if it will make you happy
I have removed it and added a "getlibs" target to the makefile which
will download it from freenetproject.org.

Royal decree? Bullshit.  I announced it to the list and the only person
who complained about it was you, yet you offered no reasonable
alternative that I could see (unless you consider changing every Java
developer in the world's mind about how to lay out their code is an
alternative).

If you have a better suggestion that everyone agrees to let me know and
it can be implemented, but if we allowed vague nit-picking to delay
every decision then we would never get anywhere.  If people want
criticism to be considered then it should be offered in the form of a
constructive alternative, not rants about what is wrong with the world
of Java development.
