or i could just be lazy and work with the pre-built xerces binaries, which
i assume are just fine.  i didn't have any overwhelming need to build from
source, i just didn't have anything better to do this morning.  so i'll
just leave this alone, and go with the binaries.  thanks.

p.s.  there's no known problem *running* the xerces binaries with
sun's JRE 1.4.2, right?  just the building part.
