[Red5] red5 and OSGi

[Edward Yakop]

Ok. It seems from reading the threads, aiming for 1.0 release is/was
the direction for red5 at that time.

If that is the case, why don't split it to multiple modules. This way,
each of the component can have different release life-cycle? The idea
is to quickly mature components to 1.0 version and freeze it there.
And, when all components hit 1.0, release all in the same version of
1.1.

And on the topic of supporting OSGi. It would be easier to add support
it if the code base is in "freeze" state :)

Regards,
Edward Yakop
