This is the standard build structure I have use, but I removed this 
directory from Subversion because the build scripts purge the 
directory before they compile. This was causing update problems 
with subversion.

I have added the -p flag to the build script to make any necessary 
parent directories. This was the only case amongst all the scripts 
that omitted it.

mkdir -p $mk_build/jaxp

I created some working notes below for this and any other issues 
that come up. These are not additional instructions, just my 
reference notes, I will trim them down as we progress.

The problems you found were because the version of JTidy we have 
been using had an older implementation of the W3C DOM. This 
was the latest released version, r7 from 2000. I have replaced this 
with the latest CVS source, compiled and tested. It passes all our 
unit tests and has a current DOM implementation. It also fixes 
numerous bugs that we have not witnessed with MKSearch to date.

I haven't done a test build under Cygwin or FC3 yet (I'll get on to it 
next week), but I think JTidy and MKSearch should build on FC4 
now. Please update and give it a go if you have some time.

Best regards,

Phil
