(Which is just a description of the Avalon-3.1a1 release, which other
James users/devs need)

But:
1) The org.apache.avalon.* code has far wider applicability than its use
in phoenix, so at some point avalon should become two or three separate
top-level projects.
2) Changing the package names later (ie when the projects split) would
lead to unhappy users of the code, and may put off new adopters
3) Not changing the package names now leaves us with very deep package
hierarchies, which can confuse new adopters
So: lets move to the new packages now.
