[jboss-as7-dev] [Proposal] Create minimal distribution as generic service container

[Cheng Fang]

Other jboss products layered atop AS can also benefit from this as 
well.  Some of them do not need the full-scale AS and chose to stripe 
down certain subsystems.  Why don't we add to, instead of subtract from, 
the underlying product?  This will be something similar to GlassFish 
nucleus, which is shared by GlassFish server, MQ, and some other 
middleware components.
