Re[2]: Problems building FOP: fail tests

[Michelle Baert <m....@free.fr>]

Hello Jeremias,

Thanks for the fixes and useful suggestions.
Yesterday I could check that the fop.jar works fine alone,
but couldn't understand much more about the failing tests.
Unfortunatly, a power failure caused corruption in my system
and I've spent most of today trying to recover settings
and a working environment. Possibly I'll have to reinstall soon,
good occasion to upgrade and take care to version conflicts.

All the best.
