Very well, so we can at least feed the maven repositories.I'd personally
still be in favour for a classical binary distribution (if for no other

that on the source archive, if anyone desires.), but getetting out the
first release is top priority. So, let's go on.

I didn't count. Do we have the 3 binding votes?
