Anyone ever built Tomcat 5.5 from source?

Hi,

For some reasons I need to dig into Tomcat source code. The Tomcat
source comes with an Ant building script "build.xml". In earlier
version (e.g. Tomcat 4.1), there is a "dist" target in "build.xml" for
the developer to distribute files which he built by Ant earlier (see
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-4.1-doc/BUILDING.txt).

However, in Tomcat 5.5 (and also 5.0), there is no such target any more
(see http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/building.html). After
donig all steps, I got only a folder without any executable and there
was even no readme file to tell me where to go on. Anybody knows
what's the follow-up to deploy Tomcat 5.5 after the building steps are
taken?

Thanks a lot!

To-ju.
