For the doc system. Cocoon needs avalon and excalibur.

How recent was this CVS checkout? Did it have the dependency checking
stuff (depchecker.xml)? In the CVS head, there's a check to ensure Pool
is built before Component:
<ant antfile="${depchecker.prefix}/depchecker.xml" target="checkPool"/>
If this was present but failed for some reason, I'd be interested to
find out why.

Nobody reads README files ;) Excalibur should be buildable by typing
'ant', and if something goes wrong the error message should provide a
solution.
