If the FOP-based build works better than Jade, by all means let's use
that. Last time I looked at FOP (years ago, admittedly), it broke at
about page 10. Obviously, Guillaume and company are getting better
results now.
What I would like to know, however, is whether FOP runs on a Free(tm)
Java implementation. It seems that you need Sun's JDK to run it and
that will be a problem if it's to become our primary build method.
