The build files shipping with Tomcat 3.1 won't work with Ant 1.2 as
Ant has changed quite a bit since Tomcat 3.1 has been released, so be
prepared to go through a lot of changes.

This is the parsers funny way to say "there is a syntactic error in
your build file. Unfortuantely I don't know how to tell you where, as
your locale is not supported by my error message printer".

I have no idea how to change the locale on Win2K (not even if it'd be
wise to recommend something like this). I vaguely remeber there was a
missing closing ">" in one of the example buildfiles of Tomcat 3.1.
