(1) There already is a separate DISCLAIMER.txt. I have attached it for your consideration. (2) As discussed earlier, the LICENSE file already contains sections for HSQLDB and Jetty; the stuff added to the end of the README came from NOTICE files in those projects, and is not license material. (3) I don't know what download tool you have, but if you look in SVN you will note that there are indeed no blank lines at the start of any of the files. (4) Making yet another ant target will make a very complex build twice as complex. I don't think that is wise at this point.
In short, I don't think there is any point in further changes.

Apache ManifoldCF (formerly Apache Connectors Framework) is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Lucene PMC. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
