we planned to provide a general purpose jcr-client. the jcr
webdav client would in that situation be an example.
the intension was to extend the webdav library in
order to provide the means for a general purpose webdav
client.
unfortunately, the client has not been completed yet and
the client part is pretty empty (shifted priority). there are
only a few classes in the client module, that have been commited 
unintentionally.

kind regards
