Sorry - had to take my kid to school.  My smoke test included the following:

* Unpack all archives (zip and tar.gz, source and binaries) into
distinct folders.
* Verified the md5 and sha1 checksums of all archives
* Verified the pgp signatures of all archives
* Inspected the Javadoc included in the binary release
* Built and ran a suite of proprietary Pivot apps against the binary
JAR files from the command line (DesktopApplicationContext)
* Built the "build", "doc", "dist", and "install" targets from within
the source distribution and verified that the output was correct (by
inspection).
* Looked at the .txt RAT report to make sure that the remaining files
without a license header were acceptable.
* Made sure that my most recent changes are in the new artifacts.

Note that I did not check any applets because I'm running 64 bit
Linux, for which there's no Sun Java plugin yet (and the IcedTea
plug-in isn't up pto snuff yet).

Note also that I built these artifacts from a local checkout of the
1.1 branch (tag).
