I've spent a little time on it using an Ant build, but have run into a roadblock with timezone.cpp. timezone.cpp has many compilation errors with Borland and also needs to be rewritten to address the nasty side-effect of changing the application timezone. I'm deferring additional work on a Borland build until I've fixed timezone.cpp's other problems.

Ant build will not compile and run the unit tests, but the unit tests will fail. The build.xml will apply a patch file (apr-1.1.0.patch) to the APR distribution. Building using Ant requires the CVS HEAD version of cpptasks of 13 Feb 2005 or later.

Will now build and run all but two test cases that have been #ifndef __BORLANDC__'d out. The two test cases involve timezone names which are apparently not available from Borland's time formatter.
