Hi Matt,

So our ant setup is somewhat intricate since it not only "builds" the 
core and widgets (whitespace strips, etc.), but also creates the 
documentation.

Frankly, if you don't really need to build, I'd recommend against it. 
If you've got a CVS checkout, you'll note the direct resemblance 
between the directory structure created by the build and our CVS 
directories. This is not a coincidence. You can use the 
non-compressed versions of the toolkit from CVS jsut as easily as the 
ones from the build. There's no functional difference.

When you go to deploy, you can then use one of the "compressed" builds 
(which I'm happy to construct for you). and just drop-in the new 
files.

If you'd really like to get a build setup, email me privately and I'll 
get you up and running.

Regards
