Hm.  Ok.  There is a current 'best practices' suggestion for Jakarta,
and I was sticking to that.  We do the same in Velocity, use 'build',
and that works out fine, but we are small in size and scope.

Fundamentally, what I was hoping for is a build.sh/bat to wrap around
Ant - nothing more, other than also including Ant so it's easy to build.

I wasn't thinking about Gump here (I just assumed that we would get Gump
to test rigorously...)

By nightly builds, I misspoke - I meant snapshot.  We should be able to
offer the nightly snapshot of each component if you want to just focus
on one piece, and not have to drag the entire thing down when it gets
big with all those great projects that are pouring in.
