Not sure it's useful to include the bz2 archives; although they are
slightly smaller, the user-base is much smaller...

The licenses/README.txt file does not seem to agree with the jars in
the lib directory.

Also, several of the jars in the lib directory are quite old versions;
if possible, they should be updated.

The generated cactus jars must contain NOTICE and LICENSE files (e.g.
in the META-INF directory)

It would be useful if the cactus jar manifests included the following
attributes:

Built-By: xxxxx
Implementation-Title: Jakarta Cactus
Implementation-Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation
Implementation-Vendor-Id: org.apache
Implementation-Version: 1.8-SNAPSHOT
Specification-Title: Jakarta Cactus
Specification-Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation
Specification-Version: 1.8-SNAPSHOT
Build-Jdk: 1.5.0_12 (e.g.)
X-Compile-Source-JDK: 1.3 (e.g.)
X-Compile-Target-JDK: 1.3 (e.g.)

There seem to be some problems with SVN file properties; I've fixed
most of them in trunk.

Did you create the archives from trunk?
There are some discrepancies between that and the source archive.
