Not quite -- more like, the doc build works with JDK 1.4.2 and with  
docbook-xsl unzipped and installed in the right place, and with a  
special dance of substituting complete path names into the xsl  
templates with the path to docbook-xsl. Path descriptions on windows  
are so much of a pain that I stopped short of making the build work  
there. Pain-rewards ratio was too high.

I left the doc build not-working on windows because I spent so much  
time getting the doc build to work *somewhere*, and once it worked  
*anywhere*, I stopped. Jim is going to improve the doctools, so this  
windows-broken-doctools is a temporary situation until major doctools  
improvements.
