Be very happy. It's now in the CVS.

I checked in Arnaud's patch, his test code (slightly altered, see
below) and the new build system.

We desperately need all this tested. PLEASE, everyone who is here and
paying attention please check out the current CVS and test it.

See the file HACKING for information on how to build the jaxp module
with automakejar.

This is the next thing. I'd like to have some tests of at least the
common features of DOM and SAX. I prefer not to use frameworks like
Junit for doing testing, I think a good main() method in a well named
class is just as good.

To that end I have added the directorys:

   tests
   tests/dom

The idea is that individual test cases should go into the directory
(SAX tests would obviously be called tests/sax).

I haven't set the build to deal with these yet. I would like some
feedback first.

I'd like you to have a think about how we can get some really good
tests for gnujaxp. Is there any tricky code that we could test it
against?

Excellent! Dave (who I'm sure is lurking here) will be pleased.
