Title: Lower required maven version to 3.0.0 (currently 3.0.4)

OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion ships with mvn 3.0.3:

fynn-2:elephant-bird travis$ mvn -version
Apache Maven 3.0.3 (r1075438; 2011-02-28 09:31:09-0800)
Maven home: /usr/share/maven
Java version: 1.6.0_35, vendor: Apple Inc.
Java home: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0_35-b10-428.jdk/Contents/Home
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: MacRoman
OS name: "mac os x", version: "10.8.2", arch: "x86_64", family: "mac"
fynn-2:elephant-bird travis$

So developers on OSX can use the default maven we should lower the required version to just 3.0.0 as it has all the features we require.
