Sometimes it is even difficult to define what are those dependencies,

Curse you and your valid points :)
Next step for me is to work out just how much of Commons is affected
by your points. If it's just a particular component, then we work
around it (ie don't put the things in the dist, same as the current
situation).
One positive is that if we manually place a

I'm +1 to Henri's idea for this reason:
When I'm using a package that requires other jars, I typically install the
