Hi, All --

DOM4J and Jaxen have long had a circular dependency, and I hope I'm not alone in thinking that this is a bad thing. The topic of "what Jaxen version in dom4j" came up recently, and I've been personally bitten by the dom4j JAR containing a version of Jaxen that was incompatible with the Jaxen version that my code elsewhere was expecting but where dom4j's version was taking precedence...

So, I would like to propose that we make dom4j depend honestly on Jaxen:

1) Jaxen is no longer bundled inside dom4j-*.jar
2) The Jaxen dom4j navigator moves inside the dom4j project.
3) dom4j explicitly calls out which version of Jaxen it depends on.

Thoughts?
