OK, great. This only leaves the Maven plugin, which was the reason why 
we started the whole source tree restructuring game. I'd really like to 
get that sorted out before the release, so the Maven users in 
Apache-land can soon start to use Clirr without too much effort.

I'll try to use the plugin in commons-collections (which is probably a 
bit simpler than Cactus) next week to see if I can reproduce/fix 
Vincent's ClassCastException.

Yep, but I can't promise anything - the Olympics really get in the way

Agreed, but I think that can wait until after 0.4.
