Well, this isn't quite a shared dependency. The documentation is only for
this particular module and is irrelevant anywhere else.

Do I need  to have the techwriters zip up the documentation and download it
into our Maven repository, and then when I do a build,  download it, and
unzip it?

Is it possible to use the maven-dependency-plugin just to merely do the
unzipping? Otherwise, I'll have to give our techwriters access to the
repository, and let the developers know they have to coordinate the version
numbering of the documentation in the pom.xml.

Maybe I am better off just using the antrun mojo to do the unzipping during
the packing phase.
