I checked the jc.bat file and noticed that there isn't anything in
it to build the lib directory, so that doesn't do it.

I installed and ran Ant against the build.xml in the croftsoft
directory and although it does execute and show the example games,
it does not build the expected directory that would house the third
party tools (like java_cup).

How does this code work without access to java_cup?
