Sure, we have the same problem: assembling a Cocoon suited to our 
project's need in the most simple way.

Well, here is what I need to type on the command line as a user (not 
talking of developing Cocoon):
- build.sh webapp
- cocoon.sh servlet

Provide a binary distro and have cocoon.sh/bat start as servlet by 
default and you can develop your entire project without ever using a 
commandline prompt.
