Unresolved Issues? (was Re: Avalon src distro won't build)

[Berin Loritsch <bl...@apache.org>]

The BUILDING text file was updated to address some concerns with the ANT file.
Also, build.xml was updated to fix some issues with building the distributions.

Are there any other issues that are left?

Have we adequately addressed our concerns?

If possible I would like to get this out tomorrow (it is too late in the day
to get meaningful feedback in time to do a whole lot about it).

Done. I also changed README.txt, LICENSE.txt and the others (except
KEYS, which is read by tools like gpg, not humans).

While doing so, I found cornerstone's build to be very broken. Half the
apps/*/build.xml's only build from their directory, not when called from
the root build.xml. There's broken refs to tools/lib/xerces.jar all over
the place. Ick. Major build rejig required, best done if/when tools gets
turfed out I suppose..

Can BUILDING be renamed to BUILDING.txt (to make it easier for win32 users) 
and also could it actually be included in distribution ;)

I would prefer if big warning messages were printed if you tried to use some 
feature (ie doc generation) that used libs that were not present. Though this 
is not something to hold up a release for .
