ah... yes. I think they don't qualify as being part of the 'engine' though.
These should be moved to /modules.

hhm... +0 on putting Turbine ACLs in the registry... don't know.

This still needs to be addressed.

I don't think so... there was only one small issue that need to be worked out.
That should be in TODO.

That is already in there. I have said it a number of times but the tomcat-build
will give you this :)

I was going to take this up. I would say that personally the Castor stuff is
the worst part of Jetspeed right now. It really scares me :(

I would rather redesign it..

Then we would have to drop Cocoon 100%. The Engine is already hacked to support
Cocoon 1.x. If we want to clean it up then we have to drop Cocoon which would
make a lot of people angry (myself included). If we decide to do this then we
need to go with Jetspeed 2.0 -> Cocoon 2.0.
