Log:
Added a note about how to use the srcdir-attribute (not include packages
there)
because this seems to become a very frequently asked question.

<p><b>Note:</b> If you are using Ant on Windows and a new DOS window pops up
for every use of an external compiler, this may be a problem of the JDK you
are using.
This problem may occur with all JDKs < 1.2.</p>
+
+<p><b>Note:</b> If you wish to compile only source-files located in some
packages below a
+common root you should not include these packages in the srcdir-attribute.
Use include/exclude-attributes
+or elements to filter for these packages. If you include part of your
package-structure inside the srcdir-attribute
+(or nested src-elements) Ant will start to recompile your sources everytime
you call it.</p>
