        Key: XDT-504
    Summary: Option to disable checking template files when determining if 
generation is needed

Description:
Currently, as part of the process to determine if generation is necessary for a 
given file w.r.t a given template, xDoclet checks to see if the template is 
newer than the generated file.

Since one template can include (merge) other templates, there is some complex 
code to check all the merged templates to make sure that none of them are newer 
than the generated file.  

This check causes several problems:
1. The code has defects which arise in particular circumstances.  XDT-502 and 
XDT-349 are two defects that I'm aware of in particular.
2. I believe that this check is a significant performance hit.

Therefore, my suggestion is that there be an option (perhaps in DocletTask) to 
disable checking if the template(s) are newer than the generated file.  This 
check is really only useful anyways if one is developing templates, or upgrades 
xDoclet.  Otherwise, for everyday use by regular (non-xdoclet) developers, it 
is not necessary to do this check.
