One matter is that there is currently no build in the 'contribution' module.
Meaning that the contributions are not built in the nightly build and are
not downloadable from mmbase.org. Well, actually there is still only one
'contribution' there, but we are avidly waiting for mmbob  at least....

Simplest would be to simply copy buildbase.xml from 'applications' to
'contributions' or to somehow reuse it. But that would really be less than
nice, ant frankly I thought that an argument against by point that the main
effect of splitting up 'applications' and 'contributions' would be
complication of the build, was that maven would solve that soon...

There are some small bugs in the build too, of course, as no code is without
bugs. IIRC, and e.g., the documentation target does not always work; it does
in some cases not work if build.documentation=false, and I find that it
_always should_ build the documentation if you explicitely say so (with
something like 'ant build.documentation'). Small issue, not worth fixing if
not reasonably sure that it'll remain in use for a reasonable period of
time...
