I consider the 'integration' support for the flow as almost a 
third-party, bridging library. I think #1 makes the most sense, with the 
possibility that at some time it might even be broken out into its own 
build, although still in the same packages. This does imply that if Web 
Flow moves to the main source for 1.3, as expected, so will the portlet 
code.
