-1.  Particularly the xalan.jar and xerces.jars found in there.

What is the harm in dealing with this with a set of instructions or a list
of external dependencies? People should read that, download the appropriate
jars and then proceed to either build or run it.

Clearly if we have db tags, people are going to have to install a database.
We can't really check that in, can we? :-)

Sam, it would be appropriate to have the conversation about "lib"
directories in JAKARTA-TAGLIBS on the mailing list, now that it's here.
The issue of "my custom tag library needs this other JAR file to run" is
going to need to be faced -- preferably with some mechanism that lets me
download jakarta-ant and jakarta-taglibs and then build out of the box.

We can finesse this for the particular issue of XML parsers (by using
JAXP) like we do with servlet.jar (point at your own).  But there are
bound to be other, more complicated cases.
