Acknowledged.  Unfortunately, there seems to be something a bit funky 
with the jarfile functionality in SVN trunk as some of tests that were 
passing before now seem to be failing, so I need a bit of time to 
investigate.

I'll revisit the jarfile support in the next few days to try to 
stabilize for the upcoming release.
