Thanks, I understand now.  I just rebuilt to check this out and look
at the function documentation, which is a helpful start.  For others
who haven't, here is an example:

input:
lib:get-lib-info('commons-util-%latest%.jar')

output:
<lib name="ws-commons-util-1.0.2.jar" size="34407"
modified="2010-01-22T20:51:33-05:00"/>

Some requests for the module's xqdocs:

1. Could you be a little more specific and descriptive about the
allowed values (and allowed wildcards) for $name?

2. Can you specify the XML format of the return value (even providing
an example)?

3. Can you confirm this is only for *.jar files, and add that it's
only for EXIST_HOME and EXIST_HOME/lib?

Thanks,
Joe
