Tasks for Jakarta Commons "Latka" Application

- Add a universal mechanism for negating validators.
Currently regexp and xpath validators implement negation
internally as a special cond
attribute. This adds somewhat to the internal complexity. It
would be better to have the framework handle negation by being
able to wrap tests in a <not/> element.
- Make the inclusion of individual validators optional at
build time.
- Set up Latka to use the proxy support of later
HttpClient builds
- Write unit tests for each validator, with a mock object
implementing the Response interface
- Create better documentation, especially the
User's Guide and
Developer's Guide
- Ensure coding standards are consistent across the
project's codebase, using
CheckStyle
- Add XMLValidate tasks to the build file so that any XML
doc with a DTD is checked before used
- Look at the design of the validators and see if the
commmons-validator could somehow be used instead
