[General] Xalan problems (was:[ANNOUNCEMENT] Xalan-J 2.2.D14 released (long email, debugging needed))

Last time I successfully built the DOM TS was with Xalan 2.2D11. 
However, even with these binaries, I now get similar results to those 
that Curt indicates, either failing to load documents or unknown XPath 
errors (usng both Ant 1.4 and Ant 1.4.1). In the verbatims below, I've 
used Ant 1.4.

As one of Joe's emails indicated that xml-apis.jar needs to be on the 
classpath, but given that previous emails indicate that nothing except 
for xalan.jar and xerces.jar needs to be known by Ant (by putting them 
in the ant/lib directory) in order to build, can someone who manages to 
build the most current checkout from the CVS send to the list an exact 
setup for Ant, xalan and xerces?

For example, here is my current setup:

Ant 1.4, ANT-HOME properly set, lib directory consists of
xalan.jar (from the 2.2D11 distribution)
xerces.jar (from the 2.2D11 distribution)
jakarta-ant-1.4-optional.jar
README
ant.jar

with the xalan2.2D11 binaries on the Path gives the following results:

has been reported a proper setup, this is what the build document

In both cases, the [style] task fails, has not done so before, so either 
the style has changed and locks xalan up, or the setup is wrong. In both 
cases, I've used directions sent to this list (that have previously 
worked, last time two weeks ago at the DOM WG F2F demo).

---

Using similar setup, keeping the original crimson.jar and jaxp.jar from 
the Ant distribution and only adding the ant-optional.jar file and 
xalan.jar from xalan2.2D11 (which has been reported to lock xalan up 
previously):

Which doesn't seem to help much, even though xalan's binaries are there. 
Could it be that the Ant.jar in xalan's bin directory messes things up? 
Or is it something else?

---

Again, please report your current (working) setup to the list so that I 
can update the build documentation accordingly and get our environments 
to work.

As a side question, when checking out as dom-ts-1 I get a cvs [checkout 
aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any) error, 
whoch does not happen when I check out as anonymous. Either I've done 
strange things to my machine or something's wrong. Can someone try to 
checkout and see if it works?
