Updates to build processes and docs on jakarta-servletapi-4 and jakarta-watchdog-4

Hey folks,

As I mentioned earlier, I've gone through the "jakarta-servletapi-4" and
"jakarta-watchdog-4.0" build processes, and brought them up to date with
our current practices.  In addition, I've brought the following
docuemntation files up to date for both repositories:

README.txt            Quick intro, documentation of the contents of the
                      release, and pointers to other info

BUILDING.txt          Building a binary distribution from source

RUNNING.txt           (Watchdog only) Running the Watchdog tests against
                      your servlet container

In particular, folks working on Tomcat 4 will want to note the revised
(simpler) test execution procedures for Watchdog tests.

The revisions are in CVS now, and will show up in tonight's nightly
builds.  Please take a look, and provide feedback on the correctness and
ease of use of the updated documentation.

PS:  The jakarta-tomcat-4.0 repository is next on my target list :-)
