Ahem, I will dignify your reply with an answer ;-).

As it happens, I do think it would be good if we built bodington using Maven, 
especially due to the way it handles jar file dependancies. However, whilst that 
approach would probably take me a day or so (I've never written a Maven build 
file) I already have a 1 line fix, with 2 lines of explanation sitting on my 
machine ready to commit, to the existing Ant build file. Therefore I'm going to 
go ahead and do this. Also bearing in mind that I'm treating guanxi.war as a 
black box, maven wouldn't particularly help here anyway; that's where the 'below 
par' xalan.jar is.

Once you've got guanxi being built via maven, I'll do the same for bodington. 
Whilst you're about it, you can make sure that no CVS meta-directories end up in 
the war file this time ;-).
