Re: Include all files in lib/build? [was: [VOTE] Release of FOP 1.0]

After some thought I decided that it will be quite acceptable to
include all files in lib/build in the source distribution. After all,
the source distribution is for people who undertake to build FOP
themselves, so a larger download and more tools should not be a
problem for them.

I concur with this thinking. It is perfectly reasonable for the source 
distribution to be larger than the binary distribution. It would be very 
annoying if in order to build FOP I had to download several 3rd party 
JAR files before I could do that.

Thanks,
