I'd like to revisit this problem.  I'm pretty sure there's a bug in
the extension build process.  Here is a particular manifestation of
the bug:

- I have a subdirectory in src-conf:
custom/gridshib-idp/src-conf/conf
- There are files in this directory (of course) and they get added to
gridshib-idp.jar as expected.
- However, if I delete a file in src-conf/conf and rebuild, the file
*still* gets added to gridshib-idp.jar, which is a bug.
- Although the file has been deleted from src-conf/conf, it's still in 
directory
custom/gridshib-idp/build/classes/conf
which is presumably one reason why it still gets added to gridshib-idp.jar.
- If I manually delete the bogus files from build/classes/conf, delete
the entire IdP installation directory, and re-install, the deleted
files are *still* in gridshib-idp.jar.
- If I manually delete gridshib-idp.jar from custom/gridshib-idp/dist
and custom/lib, the bogus files disappear (finally).

So it appears that the extension directory is not getting sufficiently
cleaned out prior to a build.  Can anyone confirm this bug?
