If we do that we no longer have _any_ of the issues with making sure the src distro builds and is in line with the bin distro etc. We could also have things like the LICENSE/NOTICE/BUILDING files in the SVN root folder so you get them with an SVN checkout as well as the src distro. What do other think? Seems so much simpler to me and we have to fix the current one anyway so I'll start doing this now. ...ant
