This is directed mostly at Peter, but others might find this informative...

If you look in the gump directory, you will find a build.xml.  In it is a
"scripts" target.  Everything you need to build this target can be found in
a standard distribution of Ant and Xalan.  If you can execute this target
successfully, you have successfully generated build and update scripts.
This process tests for missing and circular dependencies, and does a bunch
of other validation.  On most modern machines, this takes about a minute.
I prefer patches that pass this minimal verification.  ;-)

I don't mind Gump being used for experiments - in fact one could say that
is its purpose.  However, I would like to minimize failures to build
jakarta and xml projects due to prereqs and gump configuration failures
which causes nags.

If you are understand these considerations and are willing to participate,
I would be quite willing to nominate you as a committer.
