[kepler-dev] New instructions for building the trunk of Kepler...

[Matt Jones]

Thanks, David, for making this work again relatively simply and
clarifying how to run this new build.  I've tried your instructions
and they now work for me, so I'm glad the build is working again.  It
looks like it would be relatively easy to get the trunk build reduced
back down to a simple checkout and ant run, so I'm happy we're making
progress.  We can talk more later.  Thanks again,

Matt
