A little bit of cavaet emptor on using version ranges in maven2 dependencies.

This is a feature that I hope all library writers start using! (including
hivemind and tapestry)

There is an issue with several projects in the repositories having bad
maven-metadata.xml files.

Also mvn install:install-file does really play well yet with this feature.

I have filed bugs on this issue for people to watch and vote for so that we can
start pressuring library writers to use version ranges in their pom's
