This is probably an underestimate of the duplicates because I'll bet that some
of the jar files that are in only once are actually duplicates that have a
different filename but the same contents as other jars in this list.  Of
course, eliminating these is a good first start, but we might also want to
check these. I found it useful to simply sort them by name which shows
similarly named jar files even if they aren't exact matches.  For example, for
xerces there are 4 unique filenames but 7 jars, and its hard to tell from the
filename alone which are dups:

xerces-2.4.0.jar
xerces-2.4.0.jar
xercesImpl-2.7.1.jar
xercesImpl-2.8.1.jar
xercesImpl.jar
xercesImpl.jar
xercesImpl.jar

Aaron Schultz did a pretty comprehensive analysis of the jar files and created
a list with unique names for each version.  That might be useful in helping
resolve this problem.
