I noticed that we include commons-logging and the JMS spec jar in our
download. To the best of my knowledge, these are not required. I'm
going to remove them from the dist. That reduces things to just
commons-lang, commons-collections, commons-pool, serp, JTA, JPA, and
Derby.

At some point, we should re-evaluate shipping with Derby, or consider
creating a Java 6 download that uses JavaDB instead.
