> Substantive changes:
> - Now uses latest Ant release (v. 1.1).
> - New 'usage' target which prints the available targets. Note that this
list
> only includes targets that are likely to be run by an end-user; targets such
as
> 'prepare' (which is called internally) and 'war-webmacro' (which is
experimental
> and likely to be subsumed by the TDK) do not appear in this list.
> - New 'env' target which prints useful build environment properties, such
as
> 'build-compiler' and 'java.class.path'. This target is called (directly or
> indirectly) by every other target (except 'usage'); hopefully, this will help
in
> debugging user problems.
> - Now loads in "global" Ant preferences from ${user.home}/.ant.properties.
> (See previous message for usage details.)
> - Default target now handled entirely by the Ant build file. This removes
> the TARGET variable stuff from build-turbine.bat/.sh. In addition to being
more
> consistent with common Ant usage, this change allows you to specify multiple
> targets. For instance, you can now execute 'build-turbine clean jar'.
> - Location of JSDK JAR can be specified in the JSDK environment variable.
No
> longer necessary to edit the build script to specify its location.

Oops - I almost forgot to mention that most of these changes were requested by
list-members. ;-)
Thanks to Christophe Vigny, Gonzalo Diethelm, Peter Donald, and (of course) Jon
Stevens for the suggestions/corrections.
