[VELOCITY-491] Velocity-dep repackages the Jakarta ORO classes

Description

Velocity dep should not repackage any external dependencies. At least it shouldn't do that while keeping the original package name as this leads to clashes with other libraries. For example the project I'm working on includes ORO 2.0.8 but as velocity-dep also includes ORO (but another version of it) it leads to weird errors depending on how the classpath/classloaders are used.

This project is using Maven2 to build. See http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEV-459 for the issue I've raised against Maven2 (but it's really a Velocity issue).

Thanks
