---------------------------------------------

bq. Note: I've marked this issue as Fix for 1.4 to try and give it some 
visibility before the release since there seems to be some interest in getting 
the release size smaller

I haven't seen the patch yet. But I do not understand why we need to copy the 
jars in the released artifact. We can have some instructions or scripts (I 
assume we don't want ant) to copy the jars to the correct places for running 
solr-cell examples. Is there a problem with that?

> solrconfig.xml syntax to add classpath elements from outside of instanceDir

> reliable symlinks in zip files)
