That's acceptable. (Unavoidable anyway). Perhaps we could make the Ant
task provide a message along those lines.

Sounds good. We have a short paragraph at the bottom of the download
page that needs to be expanded. Especially with regards to what is
needed when you start to use different features (JNDI, JAXP, etc.)

Yep, go ahead. I will either release 0.8.3 or 0.9.0 next depending on
Hibernate's requirements. Cglib 2 is still in beta at the moment
anyway.
I think we were going to look into supporting Cglib 1 and 2 at the same
time weren't we? And maybe leave the Enhancer er... enhancement until a
little later. (Info: we need to make some changes to Proxool to support
Cglib 2. Also, there is a performance improvement - Enhancer - available
in Cglib 2, but we probably won't use that immediately to keep backwards
compatibility). I'll take a look at how we might do that.
