Two tarballs? Yikes no. I'd prefer something simple that would allow  
stitching it in as a svn:external and then you can copy it into the  
Products directory like everything else.

All those who think this is somehow impure and dirty, keep in mind  
that this arrangement won't be forever, only for the 2.1 branch.  
Afterwards there's more time to plan on packaging things differently.
