Well, I tried just switching the packaging and running a test release
yesterday and it seemed all right.  However, we could also just use the
deploy:deploy-file task and avoid messing with the current module setup.

http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-deploy-plugin/deploy-file-mojo.html

Though, I wonder whether it makes sense to deploy the same WAR to Maven
that we publish on the download page.  It seems likely that projects
depending on the WAR will not need all the provided data that goes into
the release on the download page.

I will take a second, closer look at simply switching the web-app
packaging over to WAR today.
