Given that logkit can be build without a number of optional jars, perhaps we should warn of the missing status, so that the keen newbie builder can feel they are affecting a process by downloading jars and re-running build.bat/sh.
The diff below (tested) warns to the console of missing classes pior to javac.
Perhaps we should go one stage further and make a target that will get jars from jakarta-apache.org (or elsewhere). That target is not automatically run (we can't assume all builders are permanently wired to the web), but merely hinted at in the warnings stared by this patch. Actually some blend of relative retrieval (framwork) and download would do trick.
Thoughts? I can do the coding (master of depends/unless/if).
