Every once in awhile during the last few months, I've toyed with
upgrading jakarta-commons-lang from 2.3 to 2.4.  Unfortunately, Fedora
is still missing multiple POMs needed to build with maven.  Today, I
figured that I didn't want to see yet another Fedora release go by
with us still shipping version 2.3, so I updated (Rawhide only) and
built with ant.

If anything breaks as a result of this, you now know at whom to hurl
the rocks.  Seriously, though, if there are any problems, please let
me know and I will do my best to fix them.
