Anyway, I have some changes I'd like to propose.
These all relate to jacl

1) This file is incorrectly named.
    Rename it JaclLoadJavaCmd.java from source, and kill the old one.
    ${src}/jacl/tcl/lang/JaclLoadJava.java

2) Add an Ant build.xml file so people can build the java sources without
having to have the Microsoft build tool.  This won't build the native
sources.

3) Add a javadoc task to the build.xml file so that javadoc is created.  The
doc you have is very nice, but having javadoc is also essential.

I have a working implementation of steps 2 and 3, which I have attached.  It
works in the directory like so:

C:\install\jacl\jacl1.2.6\build.xml

where I unzipped jacl1.2.6.zip in the directory C:\install\jacl.
So you have a tree like

jacl1.2.6/
    build.xml
    src/
    docs/
etc.

Then you just
cd jacl1.2.6
ant

and you will get a ./build/ directory with
./build/jacl.jar
./build/tcljava.jar
./build/javadoc/
and the whole build tree.

thanks,
Laramie
