Linking with svn:externals and LICENSE File Problem

Hello,

i'm looking for a better way on including the SwiftMailer Library via subversion::externals. Therefore i use the following "swiftmailer https://swiftmailer.svn.sourceforge.net ... 3.3.3/lib/".
This fetches SwiftMailer's "/lib" folder - but i think this is not enough for distribution with my own project. Afaik, i have to provide the LICENSE file, but not the "/tests" or "/docs".

I guess the common way on doing this would be, to fetch the "/tags/php5/3.3.3/" folder and use an build script on it: stripping off the unneeded folders and moving the LICENSE to "/lib".

Does anyone have this problem with svn:externals too? And whats your solution?
So my questions is: :?: would it be possible to place the LICENSE file inside the "/lib" folder.
This would makes things easier for distribution?

Another suggestion i have is: :?: would it be possible to place the latest tag version in a folder "/tags/latest/" (besides it's /tags/versionnumber folder)?
