The attached adds building instructions to the README file for the new
Ant 1.3 release (and fixes a minor typo). Unfortunately, I do not
currently have access to a Win box. If someone could please verify the
steps under Windows, that would probably be good. I doubt there are any
noteworthy differences, but just in case ...

You will need to create the "jakarta-ant" directory and extract the files
- into it. Downloading and installing the binary distribution will avoid
- the need to build the executable version. If you have downloaded the source
- distribution, you will need to build the executable version by executing

+ directly into it. Next, bootstrap the distribution by executing the following:
cd $JAKARTA_HOME/jakarta-ant
./bootstrap.sh <-- Unix
bootstrap <-- Windows
- This should result in the creation of a file "ant.jar" in the "lib"
- subdirectory, which will be used when building Tomcat.

+ Extracting the downloaded file will create the source tree in a new
+ directory called "jakarta-ant-1.3". This directory should be expanded
