Several of the newer jakarta-commons-sandbox packages don't follow the
"build.xml conventions" of the remainder of them -- not too surprising,
since these conventions are only documented in old email threads at the
moment (yes, copying them into a web page is on my TODO list unless
someone beats me to it).  Nevertheless, it would be nicer for people
trying to build these packages if the build.xml files were tweaked a
little.  Would that be possible?

GRAPH       - Doesn't document its dependency on "${minml2.jar}" so the
              build breaks without it.  It also doesn't appear that this
              library is actually used???

JDBC2POOL   - General convention is to have a "dist" build target that
              creates a "dist" subdirectory with the JAR file, a copy of
              the license, and the documentation.

SIMPLESTORE - Implicitly depends on an internal copy of "lib/jisp.jar"
              instead of documenting an external dependency and using
              build.properties.sample to show how to customize your
              own pathname to it

UTIL        - Same issue as with GRAPH, and same question about whether
              minml2.jar is actually required or not.

Thanks!

Craig
