Moving to ant-dev for now. The largest items are a large tar test file, 
Appendix E PDF, some large test images, Xerces and the the XDoclet jars.

What would we want to eliminate from the snapshot (We are currently double 
size of httpd and 4x Tomcat).

should look closer, from 3MB to 30K.

I don't think we can do much about it (well, we could gzip it, maybe
and gunzip it in the test that needs it) as we need an input as big for
the bzip2 regression test.  gzip -9 would reduce the size from 3MB to
300K.

bzip2 it and <bunzip2> it in the distribution target?  Doesn't gain
much, about 350K out of 2.5MB.

I feel inclined to drop the complete proposal directory, if possible.

Since two of these are mine:

- Appendix E doesn't need to be in snapshots.  It doesn't even need to 
be in distributions, but it'd be nice if it was in the release 
distributions.  If its removed from distributions, lets link it from 
the website at least so folks can get to it easier than through CVS.

- XDoclet JAR's - I'm assuming in proposal/xdocs/lib, right?  The xdocs 
directory can be removed from snapshots/distributions as far as I'm 
concerned - its still a work-in-progress, and the results are posted 
online through Gump now anyway.
