Ok, so I'll commit my preliminary work in a branch.

I think it's not a bad thing to host tarballs of sources and binaries on
the think svn. AFAIK, upstreams sources are not tracked anymore and we
rely on rather old and unmaintained code. If upstream decides to drop
part of their history, Think can't afford to be stuck.

Not part of the zip in externals/src:
 - codegen
 - asm
 - dtdparser
 - fractal

Part of the zip:
 - fractal-adl
 - ow_deployement

Sources available elsewhere:
 - codegen (already packaged)
 - asm (already packaged and part of debian/ubuntu main archive)
 - dtdparser (already packaged and part of debian/ubuntu main archive,
 but I need to check version compatibility)

I still have to figure out where to get the sources for fractal.jar.
