[Mulgara-dev] Windows build broken

Hi all,

I've updated my Mulgara checkout that I have on my Windows laptop, and the
project no longer builds.  It turns out that "lib\javacc-4.0.jar" is a symbolic
link to javacc.jar (represented in SVN using the svn:special property).
Unfortunately, Windows SVN clients do not support symbolic links.  What I get
instead for javacc-4.0.jar is a plain-text file whose contents are "link
javacc.jar".  Strangely enough, the Java compiler has a problem with this.

Can we please come up with a different approach to maintaining library jar
versions that does not involve symbolic links?

Thanks,
Alex
