Anything is possible. I'm just trying to work within the Turbine realm
at the moment to see where the process will break down before fully
recommending it for use outside that arena. As the build system is
generated it will be easy to change, and easy to propagate changes to
projects using Maven. Just generate the new build system with the new
features and build away.

I'm currently using the <genjar> task to build a single JAR with
everythign that's required. It's quite fat at the moment, so I would
like to slim it down and alter the JAR so that it has defined entry
points for tasks/operations but the internals will be slightly mangled
so that the versions of tools used in the maven jar don't interfere with
other versions of those tools on the classpath. So hopefully upgrading
will be simple and safe.
