    Regarding (1)...

    1) I made sure I had the latest WOProject/WOLips source (I did).
    2) Got rid of the existing wobuild.properties.
    3) Exucutes 'ant dist' on WOProject => fails because of the missing file
    4) Exucutes 'ant dist' again => still fails because of an incorrect file
    5) I replace the single '\' with double '\\' and execute 'ant dist' =>
    no problem
    6) Install the newly built WOLips, restart eclipse, remove
    wobuild.properties and check to recreate it on next restart
    7) Restart eclipse and inspect the new wobuild.properties file => It's
    has the single '\', but building WO applications and frameworks from
    within eclipse works.

    I suppose you could say the problem is solved, but I wouldn't. Only
    some scripts work (or if it depends on how they are invoked). To build
    WOProject/WOLips from source you need the double '\\' on all paths in
    wobuild.properties.
