The only external library needed by the Batik applications is a SAX2 parser. 
Crimson (in lib/crimson-parser.jar) is used by default.
 
The jar files in lib/build are used during the build process only.
Ant comes with Crimson, Stylebook (the documentation tool) comes with Xalan 
and Xerces. We let each application use its preferred XML parser to avoid 
possible version and compatibility problems.
