I did some hunting around for the answer to this question, and AFAIK
it's not covered explicitly. If y'all think it's worthy, I can
synthesize responses and perhaps submit them for inclusion in the
installation instructions.

What do you Cocoon mavens consider to be the canonical practice for
automatically building a deployable Cocoon application? In the past, I
usually download a distribution, build it excluding as many blocks as I
can stand, and then hand-edit things from there -- the sitemap,
cocoon.xconf, the directories for my own stylesheets, JSPs, and XML,
etc..

Some things that I know I'm doing wrong:

1) The process isn't at all automated, and can't be reliably regenerated
from scratch.

2) I should be putting my application in a sub-sitemap and mounting it
rather than editing the main sitemap -- yes?

So how do I best dovetail my stuff in with the C2 distribution so that
it only takes one invocation -- either build.sh or ant -- to build it? I
don't think I should try to build my stuff as a block; if nothing else,
then I have to chuck the whole Cocoon distro into my CVS server. Maybe
disk space is cheap, but is there a better way?

Thanks (as always) for your time.
