Hum, ok, but I don't know how to push a .war onto a repository... I'm
not even sure we would like to do so. Each .war is 30MB, we'd have to
make sure the .war are pushed onto the repo only during the release
process (as opposed to publishing them daily as we for, for instance,
with the geotools jars)

Hum, this sounds like a good candidate for a community module. 
Interested in working on it and providing some guidance on how to use it 
in the
wiki?

Cheers
