Re: [aspectj-dev] 1.1rc2

The README-AspectJ links are fine; I expected George's fixes to be correct, but was
surprised that the links been unnoticed but broken so long (it makes sense since the former
link check started from the doc index page).

I'd edit the pages for you, but they're live from CVS - let me know if you want me to edit
and check in or send to you. If you do it, consider removing the stale news items about the
old articles, since we now have an articles page linked off the documentation.

Once the tree is tagged, I plan to check in updates to the harness to handle file and text
content of messages, along with test suite upgrades to make all tests pass and add new
tests for command-line error reporting.  (I believe we permit test upgrades without
discussion if they break nothing, including reasonable/functional expectations.)
