RE: readme file, ant and build-webservice.xml

At first, all three that come with the distro (web.xml, openamf-config.xml and
build-webservice.xml). But after I realized that ant.jar was involved with the 
(apparent) solution, I played around with eliminating the build-webservice file 
and the ant jar.

Here's how it broke down:

Works? 		ant.jar		build-service.xml
-------------------------------------------------
True		included	excluded
True		included	included
False		excluded	included
False		excluded	excluded

Again, I appreciate your time,
