Hi,

Since yesterday I've committed to asdocs and bin directories, and I just added 
the top-level build.xml file, a README that goes with it and a few other Apache 
required files.  I also updated modules/downloads.xml in my whiteboard area.

You should be able to build if combine the files in
 https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/flex/trunk
with the files in my whiteboard area,
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/flex/whiteboard/cframpton/trunk

See the README.

The key thing to be aware of is the thirdparty dependencies are downloaded once 
and not again until you explicitly clean them.  They don't change often so no 
need to keep downloading them.  The normal "ant clean" does not delete these 
files.  You can use "ant super-clean" or "ant thirdparty-clean" to delete them. 
 See the README.

The build files are a "work in progress" and there will be rough spots.  I've 
cleaned out some of the crud but there is much more to go.

If you need to fix a build file because something just doesn't work on your 
platform, then go ahead, but let's save style changes/rewrites to after the 
parity release.  If you want to improve on or correct the README, go ahead.

I'm a neat-nik and like clean to really be clean but it isn't there yet.  I 
like to see files generated by the build marked as ignored so they don't show 
up unversioned when I'm looking at svn status.  Also not there yet.

Carol
