Just to muddle things even more, I'd suggest that DSpace should just
load the DB schema, metadata schemas, document types, etc. at runtime
if it finds them absent.  A few tweaks to make the WARs
location-independent, and we can dispense with Ant for installation --
'unzip' can be our installer.  And Maven can stick to what it was
designed for: project building and documentation.
