Firstly, people can create an own Token base class when truly necessary. 
Secondly, if we don't need it (which is because ClassicToken implements 
ANTLR v2 behaviour and CommonToken implements ANTLR v3 behaviour) then 
it doesn't make sense to include it.

I really can't see why anyone would try to combine both classes or to 
create another variant, which doesn't follow the behaviour of 
ClassicToken or CommonToken. For the latter, I don't know if there is 
even a third possibility of semantics. It must be truly an oddball which 
we as runtime people for standard ANTLR shouldn't care about.

The distro archives? You mean the daily builds? For that using the 
ant-build is sufficient. One could add to the ant-build the building of 
the runtime targets at least as an option, as this would simplify things 
further.
