Velocity-dep includes Apache ORO thus clashing with ORO dependency
------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MEV-459
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEV-459
             Project: Maven Evangelism
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Dependencies
            Reporter: Vincent Massol


If a project is using ORO in version 2.0.8 then velocity-dep clashes with it as 
it includes ORO with the original package name (a really really bad practice). 

For information, the problem arises for example with 
Perl5Substitution.appendSubstitution(java.lang.StringBuffer stringBuffer, 
org.apache.oro.text.regex.MatchResult matchResult, int i, java.lang.String 
string, org.apache.oro.text.regex.PatternMatcher patternMatcher, 
org.apache.oro.text.regex.Pattern pattern) which is valid in ORO 2.0.8 but not 
in the version inside velocity-dep.

This problem should be raised against the Velocity project as it should not be 
allowed to internally include another external package.
