[Building Sakai] lesson builder binaries

[Steve Swinsburg]

To target different code to different versions of Sakai you'll need to use a branch. The various releases can then be built from there. 

Alternatively, focus on trunk (which is actually 2.10) and provide instructions for running on 2.8. If people want to run a tool designed for a later version of Sakai, and the binary is incompatible, then building from source is what needs to be done.

This tool is on the list for 2.9, and the 1.4.x branch is where releases are being published from, however those are still including snapshot and other (-hack?) dependencies. This needs to be cleaned up.

In general, the release team handles the releases of projects but you need to get the dependencies in order for that to happen.

cheers,
Steve
