Matt,

Disclaimer: Matt and I had a brief discussion about this in person last 
week at LinuxWorld (over some really good Vietnamese I might add).

So...I'm trying to remember the details of our talk.  And iirc, Matt, 
you were presenting the issue about having to upload and maintain 60+ 
jar libraries (into the EPEL repo) in order to make all things 
JasperSoft work.  You're looking for a way that makes this scalable and 
re-usable by others?  Is that a good summary?  I've seen that Karsten 
responded, but I wanted to try and pose the question in a different way. 
  Is that the question you are asking?

Jason
