[Laszlo-dev] seeking ideas for a better approach to command-line lzc

[Benjamin Shine]

Not sure, but I think the code that looks at config files would need  
to change.

One big honking jar! For the *deployed* version, at least. For  
development, I think we still want the flexibility of having multiple  
jars, but we should at least know which jars, and where they are. The  
current count is 101 jars in the tree, with at least a half-dozen  
duplicates, and I suspect dozens of unused jars.

Where do we *want* our jars to go? What does it mean that they are  
mostly in WEB-INF/lib as opposed to just $LPS_HOME/lib?
