Hi.  Can I am a committer to the Tomcat project and I am trying to get
tomcat 5 to build in Gump.  I have read Sam's email (below) and I think
I can abide by the "minimal verification" requirement.

Cheers,
-bob

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.
