Yes. I think we should use an edit-webapp tree to do an overlay and have a
build.sh or deploy.sh script that packs the war up for deployment.

That's our extension model, basically. People can drop extensions into
that tree and it will work across upgrades. Unlike atlassian, this tree
would be in the install directory, not in the actual unpacked install
source. With their model, you have to recopy all your mods into a new
source tree on every upgrade, but we can do better.
