Definately.  But the problem still exists of who is using what patches 
to get a complete build.  Only Maho is putting his information out to 
the 'public', even if he is using experimental patches (how else do you 
test them and find out if they break)?

As you can tell, I believe in the exchange of information for Open 
Source projects.  This is definately the case with OpenOffice. 

I've already posted what I think a 'good' build message should look 
like.  This keeps others informed on what has happened and what needs to 
happen.

I'm working on building both the 1.1.5 and 1.9 branches and would like 
to see them merge someday, if that is in the plans of SUN.
