I'm wondering if we should move the examples to being a test system,
be it Cactus or some such; but also distribute as a 'prove this is
working for you' test.

The doc war we can do away with and include the taglib plugin
documentation in the download. Or as a documentation download that is
separate.

Sounds good. Easy enough to add the tld to the assemblies I assume.

Parent pom added. Also Unstandard has an m2 and both it and String use
the parent pom. Going to kill the old systems now for those taglibs.
