Could you please align the names of the release jars and source code
packages with some common practice? I think a reasonable mangling of
PostgreSQL practice and, say, practice for Apache Java packages might
be:

pg80b1.308.jdbc3.jar --> postgresql-jdbc-8.0b1.308-jdbc3.jar

pg80b1.308.src.tar.gz --> postgresql-jdbc-8.0b1.308-src.tar.gz

I'm not sure sure about the version number "8.0b1.308", actually, but
something that says package-version-style.ext, where package is widely
recognizable, would certainly help.
