I'll update index.html file to indicate going to 
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/[sup-project] for latest updates...

That's what I thought…

While going through the eradication process, I noticed a couple of issues that 
I'd like address before I can eradicate the xdoc format from the BUILD process 
(they're intertwined):

1. batik/javadoc/ generation is part of the Batik BUILD process (don't know if 
the other projects are similar), and eradicating Forrest might also eradicate 
the step that generates this:

http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/javadoc/

Is this something I should be concerned about, or are javadocs built at 
run-time by IDEs (NetBeans, Eclipse, etc.)?

2. There is a file generated at the time of build, that builds the 
/batik/jarDependImg.png (it's currently missing on the 'Installing Batik' page):

http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/install.html

I've uploaded the latest available version of the file and am currently waiting 
for it to show up on the site…

3. *MINOR* There's a note in fop/trunk/build.xml about `distclean`:

<!-- It would be better to make dist depend on distclean. But as long as the 
forrest projectInfo plugin depends on a higher Java version (1.5) than we use 
for the compilation (1.4), leaving it out enables a workaround -->

Does this mean we could switch to `distclean`? If so, let me know and I'll make 
that adjustment!

Cheers!
