The required files are in lib folder (without Xalan). This is what I just
ran (some commands are from Cygwin):

cd path-to-ant-svn
svn update
set JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk-full-path.....
set ANT_HOME=
rm -rf bootstrap
.\bootstrap
.\bootstrap\bin\ant -f fetch.xml
.\bootstrap\bin\ant dist

That didn't help much.  Now I can no longer access Ant.  When I try to
run build.bat, I get the following message:

$ build.bat
error: Missing required jar files.

The Ant tool is required. Download Ant from the following URL
http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/index.html and place the ant.jar
file in the lib/ directory.

Please download Xalan2 from http://xml.apache.org/dist/xalan-j/
and place the following files in the lib/ directory:

   xml-apis.jar
   xalan.jar
   xercesImpl.jar

Please download Xerces2 from http://xml.apache.org/dist/xerces-j/
and place the following files in the lib/ directory:

   xercesSamples.jar

If building ManekiNeko, James Clark's Jing Relax NG validator
is also required. Please download the Jar file distribution
from http://www.thaiopensource.com/relaxng/jing.html and place
the following file in the lib/ directory:

   jing.jar


I tried collcting all these jars, to no avail.  When I try to download
the xalan.jar mentioned, the server responds with a Forbidden error.

This seems like a lot of work to just download the latest binary of the
beta.  Is there some guide as to how to build ant 1.7?  Or is it already
built somewhere?
