Description

Requests for a number of small improvements have been mentioned on the mailing list.

These include:

• Moving all but build.xml into a build/ subdirectory
  I would also include package.xml and test.xml in the root directory
• Allowing Doc generation and Client/Server compilation to be optional
  Similar to the structure used for selecting which transport, XML Parser and Apache plugin variant, entries could be added to the property files
• Allowing ${basedir}/../../../obj and ${basedir}/../../../zip to be overriden
  This should be substituted for a variable name ( ${dir.obj} and ${dir.zip}? ), allowing those wishing different to simply override them once.
• Set CC compilation tasks to fail on error
  Currently they don't, requiring builders to scan back through the log, as ANT will always say BUILD SUCCESSFUL.
