Hello Brian,

agreeing with Frank, I don't see any blockers for an alpha.
After browsing through todo's and mails, I found the following
'polishing' tasks:

- documentation for build and install
- build against informix jdbc driver, too
- remove 1.1 support (in the code)
- remove differences between generated and checked in parser classes
- reorganize installer (move to /src folder)

but none of them is required for an alpha, IMHO.

Best wishes,
Oti.
