[PATCH] Use external build.properties

[Davanum Srinivas <di...@yahoo.com>]

Team,

here's a patch that allows users to customize the properties by dropping a build.properties in
user.home or the same directory as build.xml. Also attached is a sample build.properties that
upgrades the bouncy castle jar.

Dims,

Have applied in CVS.  Your timing was fantastic.  I was looking at the 
best way to set a debug flag on javac without turning it on by default 
and this works a treat.  (You can now set "build.compile.debug=on" in 
build.properties.)

Thanks!

Cheers,
	Berin
