XMLC close to ready - please read...

Ok, I've checked in most everything I had planned to check in.  The one 
thing will probably update is the jaxen.jar in build-lib to the official 
latest beta release (I have one built from the latest CVS there now).

There are a number of unit tests that are failing.  I believe there were 
unit tests failing well before I made any changes to XMLC.  So, it is 
likely that, since the errors were ignored before, they might be 
inconsequential.  However, I don't want to assume that.  I'm hoping that a 
few people out there can evaluate the unit test errors and see if there are 
truly cause for concern.  If not, we can release pretty soon, if so, we 
might have some work to do before release.

Here is a small checklist of things to do...

1.  Double check that OutputOptions has proper documentation.  I've updated 
this significantly.  However, there may still be a few gray areas.  If 
people can fill in the blanks or correct any errors I've made, that would 
be excellent!

2.  Check the unit tests.  Either fix the tests to not fail or fix the code 
that is failing.


I have very little time for this over this next week.  I am leaving for 
vacation late Tuesday night and may not have much time on Monday or Tuesday 
to do much work anyway.  Hence, someone has to run with this, verify 
everything is ok and set for release, and then actually make the 
release.  David Li has done releases in the past, so hopefully he can do 
this one as well.

Note that the Enhydra guys need an XMLC-2.2 release pretty soon.  Actually, 
I think we are a bit behind the release date they wanted, so the sooner we 
get this stuff done and released, the better.
