This is fine for me. Soon or later this should have happened because you 
are right that those classes belong to the commons.

commons-digester is used only by RRD MA and SQL MA and that is why I 
didn't put it in the general lib script. This is the approach: if 
something is specific to a service let's move it to its directory and 
its Ant files. For example, commons-digester can be found only in 
rrdma/rrdma-libs-download-targets.xml and 
sqlma/sqlma-libs-download-targets.xml.

I understand, no problem. It's a good occasion to ask you and other 
service developers to send info in case of new ideas and changes which 
can be added to the general Ant scripts and the structure of ant 
directory. I hope all Ant stuff will be evolving to be better and 
better. Improvements are welcome!
