@srdo It might work to make them optional. I am not a maven expert when it
comes to that..., or really just about anything with maven beyond setting up a
basic build. I am happy to try it out, as it is a real pain. I will also try
out using a profile to control when/how it is built, so hold off checking any
of this in until I have tested them.---
