Perfectly agreed... The build system is COMPLETELY different from the usual
Ant/Java (sheesh yesterday night I was trying to have a decent build,
but...)
What I'm thinking is: let's remove the connector and service directories
from jakarta-tomcat-4.0 and move them to a top level CVS module, in this
way, Tomcat can build easily with ANT, and all the rest with GNU make,
without making the build more complicated... How about it? IMHO it's the
best thing to do...
