I think that we need a clear indicator that a modified library actually
is a modification of the original release. IMO the qualifier is not
enough if it's just a new timestamp. We need to add a keyword to the
qualifier (eg. "patched") which clearly indicates the modification in
the resulting JAR file name.

Maybe we should also add a notice/readme file (eg. "MODIFICATIONS.txt")
which lists all modifications including references to the CQs. Consumers
need to be aware of any modification and additional CQs they inherit by
using a modified Orbit bundle.

Thoughts?
