Sure, I'll remove the -v flags.

No, I don't think it would be worth it.  tinyXML is designed to be embedded in
applications.  Also, because MegaMek is a standalone game, and not a library,
bundling these small jars, will not pollute the packaging namespace.

If it turns out that other applications want to use one of MegaMek's bundled
components, I'll factor it out into a separate package (though, that is
unlikely, given how small and old the components are).

Right.

> - this is all redistributable, right?  nist.gov and Oster<something>.com stuff?

Yes:

collections.jar: GPL + linking exception
Ostermiller.jar: GPL
getopt (bundled in Ostermiller.jar): LGPL
PngEncoder.jar: LGPL
TabPanel.jar: public domain
tinyXML: GPL

This may be https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=200653 again. 
If it's not already there, try adding this line to
/usr/lib/security/classpath.security:

securerandom.source=file:/dev/random

This line is included in Rawhide libgcj, but doesn't get added on update since
classpath.security is modified by rebuild-security-providers.
