This seems reasonable but you might want to change the order of those
filters. I am fairly certain variable values in Maven2 work like Ant
-- first value for a variable "wins". (Happy to be proven wrong here,
but I believe I've read this on the list or run into it myself, forget
now...)
If you put the src/main/filters value last, and none of the other
files existed in the file system, then its values would be used.
Otherwise, one of the other file values would be used, as these values
are local to this particular workstation deployment.
