I personally don't think we should be distributing any external

it makes Lucene too big (which is not the case for now as the files
are
quite small).
For some it will be a benefit to having these additional dependencies
immediately handy, but others may already be using different versions
of those libraries and will need to carefully manage which versions
they use.
I'm not in a position to devote any time to the changes needed to the
contrib build area to have it be smart about this sort of thing
though. There may be 3rd party libraries that cannot be distributed,
so the build system cannot bulk copy everything in each lib/
directory, I don't think.
