[kepler-dev] Including PDF in Vergil

Hi David,
Can the build system be modified to handle copying jar files from
directories other than ptII/lib?
The reason this is important is that as we move towards modules
that have what is needed in them, there will be more and more
directories that have jar files in them. Right now, ptalon has
a jar file:
ptII/ptolemy/actor/ptalon/antlr/antlr.jar
There are a few other jars in places other than lib.
In the near term, I'll move PDFRenderer.jar back to lib/.
Having two copies of a 2Mb jar file is much worse than having
the file in not quite the right location.
Also, do you have any thoughts on copying resources needed by
actors?
http://bugzilla.ecoinformatics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4244
I fixed the AlphabetizeOperation problem.
It turns out that
ptolemy/cg/kernel/generic/program/procedural/java/type/polymorphic/AlphabetizeOperation.java
had the wrong package in it.
I'll check the little nightly build I run to be sure it is
getting the ptII head.
