The link with title 'Apache Standard Taglib' on the second page
actually leads to a download which contains both Apache Standard
Taglib (standard.jar) and reference implementation of JSTL (jstl.jar)
http://tomcat.apache.org/taglibs/standard/

I have a half-done package of this taglib I mention lying on my
machine. The package builds fine but I haven't completed the
debian/copyright file. I will try to complete it over weekend and
upload it on mentors.d.n for sponsorship. Worst case I will at least
push everything to SVN/GIT so that someone else can continue.

Regards,
Onkar
