build-tdk.xml is using some Ant stuff that's not in the latest release (i.e.,
not in v. 1.1).

> Am I supposed to use the build-tdk scripts at all?
Technically, no. The TDK is meant to be downloaded as a binary. The build-tdk
scripts have some fairly extensive prerequisites (outlined in detail in
tdk/xdocs/build.xml).

No, Turbine contains the latest Ant release (i.e., v. 1.1), while the TDK
requires Ant from CVS.

The philosophy behind the TDK is that you'll never have to pull anything from
CVS - just download the binary appropriate for your platform, un-pack it, run
newapp and start Tomcat! Obviously, it's not completely there yet, but that's
the plan. :-)
