What is currently installed in $BIZHOME/demo is the solutions directory,
which contains a clickstream subdirectory that can be used to build a WAR
file for a tomcat/J2EE deployment of the KETL and Jasper libraries bundled
with the install.

The install does.  The maintained version of KETL is included in the
installation and shouldn't be duplicated in the release.

The demo/solutions directory is 1.6MB.
