Description

It used to be that you could do the following:

1. Run `ant bin-package' in your hadoop-common checkout.
2. Set HADOOP_COMMON_HOME to the built directory of hadoop-common.
3. Run `ant bin-package' in your hadoop-hdfs checkout.
4. Set HADOOP_HDFS_HOME to the built directory of hadoop-hdfs.
5. Set PATH to have HADOOP_HDFS_HOME/bin and HADOOP_COMMON_HOME/bin on it.
6. Run `hdfs'.
   
   As of HDFS-1963, this no longer works since hdfs-config.sh is looking in HADOOP_COMMON_HOME/bin/ for hadoop-config.sh, but it's being placed in HADOOP_COMMON_HOME/libexec.
