To whom it may concern, Here is a script that ***points vaguely*** in the direction of the janitorial task that Jason outlined immediately prior to his evident leave of absence. All it does is gather (by copying - not moving) the collection of somewhat divergently named and distributed README and LICENSE files (or any set of files under a common directory you care to specify via a regular expression) into a single location for ease of review and comparison. If this isn't a complete joke, I'd appreciate some feedback, because it does seem to me to be a somewhat asinine idea - i.e. renaming, moving, and possibly ALTERING the content of README and, in particular, LICENSE. Who gives a flying &^*&@ about these files anyway? Certainly not the customer. I mean, come on, no one who is too stupid to find/apprehend such files unless they are placed in a standardized location and somehow formalized is ever going to so much as **begin** to get off the ground running JBoss. The whole idea of touching these files in the first place is one that I find highly suspect, especially in light of the plethora of bugs and unresolved issues that remain outstanding, not the least of which is the glaring inadequacy of the BUILD SYSTEM, regarding which obtaining the secret combination of key ***strokes*** that is apparently required to get the &*@)#! THING to build would appear to be the "open source" corporation's equivalent of acquiring the key to the proverbial "executive lavatory", a phenomenon for which, I venture to add, the technical term "repository" in the present case strikes me as a decidedly lame euphemism, aside from the fact that it just happens to rhyme with "suppository."
