Reorganise repository

I’d like to reorganise the directories in the repo a bit, to be more
like fop’s (src, src/java, src/java-1.3, src/java-1.4,
src/documentation, src/resources, test, test/java, test/resources,
test/references, test/reports).  It’ll be a bit neater, I think.

I’m also going to update the bundled Ant to 1.6.5, since it seems to fix
some performance problems with some changes I’m going to make to the
bulid file (execing svn to generate proper whole working-copy revision
numbers in Version.java; the SVN+yyyymmdd format is broken at the
moment).  It still works with JDK 1.3.

Any objections?

I was going to put the new Forrest site sources in there.  It has more
than just a single xdocs directory.  That’s why I thought the directory
reorganisation might’ve made it more consistent—the Forrest
documentation files are source files too.

But actually I don’t mind too much either.  I’ll leave it as is for now,
and put a documentation directory in the top level.

I agree.  (Although beginners probably wouldn’t be building from
source.)

I’ll upload the sources soon.

   Well, I'm not that fond of it (the src/java bit always get's to
me, what else are we going to have? ;) but I don't really care.  So if
you prefer it go ahead.

   BTW what goes in src/documentation?

   I for one like bundling ant, especially since I don't think it's
true that everyone has ant installed (especially 'beginners').

    Well we already make a 'binary' dist that doesn't include ant.
If you are getting the source dist the .5MB ant is swamped by the
test-references part of the tree.

I support that. And maybe src/external for the W3C sources if the way
through XML Commons is not doable.

How about not bundling Ant anymore? This is considered best practice. At
least I've read that somewhere a long time ago but I can't find the
reference. Since everyone in the Java world has Ant installed by now and
we didn't experience anything bad when we removed Ant in FOP, you can
cut back on the distribution size like that. XML Graphics Commons also
doesn't bundle Ant.

And what about the switch to Forrest? How far is that?
