What is a stupid idea? Doing a major rewrite which breaks compatibility in HEAD or having my project only be compatible with the stable version. If the former, unfortunately I have no control over what the xml-fop developers are doing, all I'm trying to do is cope with it.
If the later, I have no choice since jgen cannot be compatible with both and I am not willing to move to compatibility with xml-fop HEAD since it does not even work yet. So, if gump will not let me build against any version of xml-fop other than its current HEAD, what are my other options?
