I just noticed something odd.  There's a "repository" directory in the
Geronimo source tree (at least the 2.0.2 tree) and it appears as if
the way it works is to set itself up as a remote repo and then
"depend" the jars into the user's cache repo.  By setting the
"mirrorOf" to "*" you also override that in-tree repository so the
jars come from the outside world.  Is this kosher or is there an
"except for" syntax that I can use in the mirrorOf element?

Thanks,
Toby

Not that I know of.  I copied the files in the local Geronimo repo into 
one of the directories served up by my maven-proxy, which is really what 
you want, given you can control the order that files are searched and 
returned with maven-proxy....
