Current system (C) : 5 steps
Proposed system (P) : 7 steps
Server (S) : 1 step <-- solution on the server side
C <= P && S == 1
The defined step #4 and #5 under your proposed solution is a doosy, but I
know you like challenges.

Thinking about your statement further. You also still haven't solved the
problem of people modifying files on the server. Under both C and P that can
happen. However, under C you can actually *tell* if it has happened (through
the magic of CVS). Under P, you can't unless you build something into Ant or
the build scripts.
p.s. I love it. For once I think I have Sam beaten down. <-- Stating that
gives him the feeling he has to beat me and solve the worlds problems or
submit to accepting to the fact that the current system has worked just
dandy for the last 4 or so years on java.apache.org. :-)
