Re: CSS Validator doesn't build with ant out of the box... build.xml needs updating.

+1 to a non-zero exit code, +10 for unique exit codes for which part failed.

+1 to cvs to git migration to Github.

I just tried the import process using git cvsimport and pushed the
result to Github (https://github.com/danbeam/css-validator).  It seems
relatively easy.  Looks like all the history was preserved and that
you'd likely be able to merge changes back and forth between cvs and
git as desired.

The free stuff you get from Github like the community
review/comments/awareness, pull requests, diff viewing/management are
awesome (they're what's allowing tons of projects to move faster and
gain support right now).  So, here's hoping other people think this
adds enough value to merit a process to migrate to/from the w3c's
github account (https://github.com/w3c).  We'll see.
