I don't know the details, but I believe one needs accounts on servers
other than the CVS one, etc.

I think it would make sense to use version 3.0 of JavaCC, which is the
latest version, I believe.

Hm, I think we should not demand from users to get alpha versions, etc.
Does 1.5.4 (current stable release) have what it needs to have for
JavaCC 3.0?
I also see from Ant's home page that the new 1.6.* versions will
require JDK 1.2 or later.  I think that is fine, I think we already
require this for Lucene.

I think it is.  Nobody made any negative comments about that
suggestion.
