Description

The /clients directory is a bit of a mess. The only actively maintained client SolrJ is actually in the /dist directory! The other clients that used to be in here, /php and /javascript (I think!) have been moved. The only one is /ruby, and it isn't actively maintained the way other ruby clients are.

I'd recommend just removing the /clients directory since it's very confusing to a new user who would logically go here to find clients, and only find a ruby one! It would also let us slim down the size of the download.

Alterntively if we want the /clients directory, then lets copy over the solrj lib to this dir instead of /dist

I am happy to submit a patch if this makes sense.
