ASF policy is that releases should not include binaries.  That includes the
gradle.jar.  So before a release is cut the gradle jar is deleted.  Many
developers work from forks.  We include the gradlel jar for them.  But we
don't want two versions of the readme.  That makes it necessary to download
the gradle wrapper or install gradle locally, and necessary to include that
in the instructions.
