I have added a task to the FastInfoset/build-without-nb.xml called
'package', which will create a zip file in the packages directory
(versioned and dated) that contains the jar, a simple readme, and javadoc.

The samples directory still requires a bit of work. Once this is done we
can then create a separate package for this in a similar manner.
