I would personally like to see the project mavenized.  Maven absolutely blows 
ant away as far as project organization goes.

I'm +1 for any refactoring that enforces simplicity, and cohesiveness with 
other Apache projects.  The more we are like, say the jakarta-commons projects, 
the easier it will be for users to understand ours.

The negative part of moving to maven- it'll be a little work.  I *really* 
think/hope that any effort you put in will be towards getting the CVS head 
consistent and as bug free as possible, so we can release.  Mavenizing is not 
in that spirit.

I was working with the test-all on windows running the standalone server.  I 
feel that making the current tests work for all drivers is our *highest* 
priority.

Thoughts?
