Essentially. What I was planning on doing was adding a extremely simplified 
Regex facade to support either oro or jdk1.4 into salt. This facade would 
just support commonly required operations (ie regex replace, match etc on 
strings) and wouldn't offer full support but would make it possible to have 
salt (and dependent applications) only require oro for jdk1.3

package.html in all the packages explaining usage patterns. Main site doc 
linking to each of the package docs and regex abstraction. Volunteering? :)
