It's on the list! 1/1 so far. :) Can't decide whether I want to do a
really fancy thing or just solve this immediate problem. For example,
if I define a GIF like compression for these bitsets it would solve this
big static thing as well as help some lookahead computations in the
lexer. Hmm....I better not bite off more than I can chew between now
and new years ;)

oops... 1/2. ;) I hadn't planned on doing that for this release. Are
you using a small device? What string manipulation would you like? I
have lots of fun routines hiding in my jGuru portal code. :)

Well, I'm fundamentally opposed to ANT no matter how good it is (people
have sent me like 3 config files already) because I oppose making Humans
grok XML. Please see
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/x-sbxml.html
for my rationale (no hate-mail til you've read that please <wink>).
Sorry, this is my little bit of civil disobedience. ANT is great and I
support the tool in my jGuru capacity, but...

Yes, I know the make situation is a mess right now (Ric and I are just
discussing it) ;)
