To borrow a phrase, "sigh, i hate handholding." -)
First, if you take a look at
http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/nightly/
you would see that regexp *IS* included in the download.
Furthermore, borrowing another phrase "READ THE ENTIRE EMAIL". ;-) I
wasn't trying to test the prepackaged download instructions. I was trying
to explicitly follow the instructions in the README.txt, and choosing to
build dependencies from source whenever that option was available.
Now a question for you, Jon. Are you suggesting that as a developer
myself, I should have to modify tomcat's build.xml if I were to wish to run
with the latest and greatest verson of jakarta-regexp?
