Hi Will,

Simple answer:  _I_ want to use it until Velocity-1.5 and
VelocityTools-1.2 gets released.  At least my source won't work
against the current ones up.  :)

I don't know how many other maven-using projects there are that uses
unreleased versions of Velocity, but they would all benefit from it. 
It doesn't have to be a once-every-commit activity, but it would be
nice if recent changes were included.

As an alternative (which I am using right now), you can set the
dependency to Velocity 1.5 and VelocityTools 1.2 and override the jars
with those compiled from the SVN repos.  But I don't like that because
the build get's more dependent on the local directory structure.

## Of course, I just noticed that I can set up a local repository and
host the SNAPSHOTs there.
