+    This Jakarta Ant buildfile is used to build Jskad, Savant, and
+    QuillDriver.  The docs at http://thdltools.sf.net/api are created
+    using this buildfile, for example.  Read the comments of this

+    HEY PROJECT MANAGER:
+
+    http://thdltools.sf.net/api lives at
+    /home/groups/t/th/thdltools/htdocs/api.  To update it, simple run
+    'ant private-javadocs-dist', which creates dist/docs/private-javadocs-DSTAMP.zip.  Then scp that file over with the command
+
+    scp dist/docs/private-javadocs-WHATEVER.zip \
+        yourUserId@thdltools.sf.net/home/groups/t/th/thdltools/
+
+    or use PuTTY's scp to do something equivalent.
+
+    Now, shell in to thdltools.sf.net with 'ssh -l yourUserId
+    thdltools.sf.net' or with PuTTY.
+
+    Change directory (cd) to /home/groups/t/th/thdltools/htdocs/.
+
+    While you're here, do a 'cvs update' - just in case some developer
+    made changes to the web pages but forgot to update.
+
+    Anyway, now run 'rm -fr api' (from the htdocs/ directory).
+
+    Now run 'mkdir api'.
+
+    Now 'cd api'.
+
+	Now run 'unzip ../../private-javadocs-WHATEVER.zip'.
+
+    See if http://thdltools.sf.net/api/ looks up to date.  If so,
+    delete ../../private-javadocs-WHATEVER.zip and log out.
+
+    UPDATE THESE INSTRUCTIONS if something above is wrong or unclear.
