The problem I'm running into is that the OCF sources are in the
same source tree as all the rest of our Solaris UNIX sources (since
we are shipping OCF as a system service in our next OS release).
The keepers of the UNIX sources have several rules for sources that
are included in the OS source tree, one of which is that no files
or directories can be named "core", since over the years many scripts
have been written to look for and remove files and directories
called "core" as part of the software build and release process.

ship a jar file with the OCF classes in it.

We could all decide that OCF V2.0 makes the package name change.
Are there a lot of people using OCF in a production environment
yet?
Anyway, I'm just collecting feedback from people on this to see if
it's worth even submitting an RFE.
