Re: Migration to Github

First, awesome work to convert to a Gradle build. This will give us a lot
more versatility for modern Java builds, including publication onto Maven.
Other functionality that is converted over can be presumably done, since
Gradle > Ant in terms of functionality (given the ability to run Ant tasks
from Gradle).

Next, this list seems comprehensive to me, because it removes from the
Jython history anything that is a build artifact, especially large binaries.

The only other thing I can think of is that we may want to revisit
lib-python/2.7/ as a module/external link/however this can be done in git
:) Right now, we have updated this manually by copying over from CPython,
because we have found automatic upstream changes to be highly unstabilizing
to our builds, but we should do a better job of syncing with CPython. So
maybe this should be modeled as a module for now in git? There may be
better approaches, given that submodules might be too independent in their
history. But I wouldn't want this specific aspect to hold up our move to
GitHub.

Regardless, we don't need perfection. We do want to avoid most unnecessary
history that should have never been there because of limitations in how we
brought artifacts/code in from external sources; and your list accomplishes
this goal.
