Drop the assembly stuff?

I think we can drop the assembly stuff. It was an attempt for creating
deployment packages which is nice but not as powerful as the OSGi
deployment package specification which Apache Felix will implement soon.

As the assembly stuff is not really needed/used right now, I think its
safe to remove it.

WDYT?

Ah, no - haven't even thought about this name clash, thanks :)
No, I don't mean the maven assembly plugin, I mean our sling assembly
stuff. A sling assembly is basically a package containing a set of
bundles. You can deploy an assembly through the sling web console.
The OSGi deployment package spec includes this and adds support for
deploying configurations as well (as a very brief description).

Note that http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/sling/trunk/microsling/microsling-standalone/
uses the maven assembly plugin, dunno if that's related to "assembly
stuff".

Basically, I am in favor of dropping that stuff. But, as there seem to
be some delays in getting the Deployment Package contribution into
Felix, I would like to wait until that has been done.
