Why the merge base.jar?

I noticed the build/lib/merge currently creates base.jar with commons-http-client, jgoodies looks, and the updater.jar (along with these api dependent jar files).

I was not sure why we do a merge of only some of the jar files ?

I hope cstux will notice this and maybe give an answer, though i haven’t seen him in the forums for a long (he’s the only volunteer dev on Spark now).
