[Building Sakai] Sakai 2.6 Contrib Tool Migration

[Aaron Zeckoski]

Unfortunately maven does not support profile chaining (that is, using
a profile to activate another profile).
http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-profiles.html
You might be able to do something creative but the only solution I
know of is to specifically indicate both profiles in the build
(-Pprof1,prof2) or to activate the profiles via an alternate method
like using a system property.
