I was avoiding anything not to do with the new Maven Build stuff, 
primarily because I have no idea how many are truly dependent on it 
(i.e. Craig M. or Gump etc).

I'd also note that the multiproject plugin and proper tagging of the cvs 
tree may actually supersede the combo project in functionality in terms 
of generating a full versioned release distribution of commons components.

how about just "build" or "commons-build"?

Again, this is a separate process from the Maven related build stuff. I 
wasn't planning a move of the old ant build stuff.
